Libraries
Alberta’s world-class library systems work to provide residents with equitable access to information, continuing education, and community resources, not to mention books, magazines, music, movies, and more. Alberta has seven distinct regional library systems in addition to the Edmonton and Calgary library systems. This structure allows libraries in both rural and urban areas to serve the unique needs of their communities while making sure their members can access innovative, province-wide resources.
