About The Alberta Library

Created in 1997, The Alberta Library has grown into an award-winning consortium of over 290 member libraries that work to promote barrier-free access to information, ideas and culture. Members include public, university, college, technical institute and special libraries.
Internationally recognized for collaboration and innovation, The Alberta Library is the result of the library community coming together to find better ways of providing services. More about TAL...
