Membership and Borrowing

Getting a Library Card

Please bring a valid ID with proof of your current address when you come to register for your card, such as a driver's license, utility statement, or rental agreement.

Yearly Membership Fees

Your membership is updated annually and any outstanding charges must be paid at that time.

Single/Adult Membership (13+)

A Single (Adult) Membership can be purchased by an individual 13 years old or over but under 65 years.  Only the person who is named on the account can use it.  People who wish to be able to share their library card should get a Family Membership. 

Senior Membership (65+)

Free Senior Memberships are available to any residents 65 years or older.  While the membership is free, it still needs to be renewed each year to remain active, and the cardholder is responsible for any fines or losses.

Family Membership

We know families come in all shapes and sizes, so for our membership, a family is defined as all persons living at a single address.  Buying a family membership entitles you to ONE library card that all family members are welcome to share.  "But how can we share only one card?!" you ask.  It's simple.  When you purchase your membership, we'll ask you to list the names of everyone you want to be able to access the membership and include them on the account.  Each family member can download the TRAC app and use the barcode displayed there. The primary named cardholder is responsible for any fines or losses.

Institutional Membership

An institution is a business, school or organization.  An institution can purchase individual memberships for their employees, students, or members, at a discounted rate.  Call the library for more information.

Loan Periods

Fines for Damaged or Lost Items

Damaged items and lost items are billed at their replacement cost.

Borrowing privileges will be suspended when fines or other penalties reach over $20.

Renewing Items

You can renew books in person, by phone at (780) 624-4076, or online by logging in to your account at TRACpac. 

Most items may be renewed twice, unless other patrons have holds on the item. 

Placing Holds

Can't find what you're looking for on the shelves? You can place a hold in person, by phone, or online by logging in to your account at TRACpac. 

You may place up to 20 holds at a time. Items are held for 7 days; please call the library to extend the pick-up period.

Please suspend your holds if you will be away for an extended period of time or cancel holds that are no longer desired. You can do so in person, by phone, or online by logging in to your account at TRACpac. 

Lost or Stolen Card

For your protection, contact the library immediately to report a lost or stolen card so we can stop others from using it. You are responsible for anything borrowed until it is  reported. Replacement cards are $6.
