To check out items, come into the library and swap your online card for a resident card. We will need to verify your address; please bring photo ID and proof of address in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. If you are 15 and under, you'll need to bring a parent or guardian with you.
*Please note: Online card registration is only available to patrons with a Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo address. If you are a cardholder at another Alberta public library, sign up to use WBRL through ME Libraries.
