Library Service Update

The library is currently closed to the public, but our staff are still available to help! We're here to assist you Monday – Friday 10 AM – 6 PM, and Saturday 11 AM – 5 PM.

We have a variety of Curbside Services available including printing, faxing, and scanning, and you can still borrow items with Curbside Pickup. Call 403-845-2042 to schedule an appointment. Access our digital resources with your library card by visiting our eLibrary. Don't have a library card? Register online!

In-person programs are suspended, but we have online programs and take home craft kits available. See the Events page for more details.

Please note that returned items are held in quarantine for 3 days before staff check them in. They will continue to appear on your library card during this time, but no late fees will accrue.
