WBRL Renovation Updates
We're officially entering a new era of Wood Buffalo Regional Library, and we're so excited for what's next! While it may get a little messy before it gets magical, we promise the upgrades will be worth it!
Please pardon our appearance while we renovate. We’re doing our best to minimize disruptions, but some impacts are unavoidable.
Plans can change quickly on a construction site! We recommend checking this page or our social media for the most up-to-date information or patron impacts.
Services on Pause During Renovations:
- Book a Library Associate
- Exam Proctoring
- Book Match
- Tours
- Classroom Collection Orders
- Hublet
Collections
Our renovation includes an exciting full overhaul of our first floor, which means there will be some unavoidable impacts on collections housed on the first floor. Not to worry, any materials packed up during renovations will be returned to our new and improved setup when ready. Collections that are temporarily unavailable will not appear in patron searches, though staff can still place holds on titles upon request. Please note that these holds will only be filled once the collections become accessible again.
During renovations, collection access may occasionally be limited or unpredictable. Some items may appear available in our catalogue but be temporarily inaccessible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any confusion while we work to improve the space for our community.

Programs
We've done our best to keep our programs going as usual - you might just notice a location change. The Suncor Program Room will be unavailable, as will the Canadian Natural Teen Area.
During the week, story time programs will take place throughout the library. Follow the rug to find our programmers! Many programs have moved to Meeting Room A as well.
Thanks to our generous friends at The Hub, many weekend and Friday evening programs will take place in their space. If attending programs at The Hub, please use the West Entrance at SMS Equipment Place.
Check out the individual program details for up-to-date program locations or ask staff for assistance.
