It doesn’t cost a thing! Our Homebound service is free of charge for individuals who cannot visit our facilities (e.g. Medical reasons, disabilities, illness, severe arthritis, heart conditions, vision issues, etc.).

Volunteers and library staff will choose materials based on individual profiles; patrons can also make requests. Interlibrary loans can also be used to access materials province wide. We work hard to get you materials that match your specific interests and always take suggestions and requests.

Our mini libraries go into hibernation over the winter months, as of October.
We are thrilled to have 4 mini libraries in our community, thanks to a partnership with TransCanada, Wood Buffalo Regional Library, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, and Fort McMurray Today.
