Borrowing

Airdrie Public Library is part of The Regional Automation Consortium (TRAC) and The Alberta Library (TAL), both of which offer millions of items to choose from.

A valid Airdrie Public Library TAL Card or ME Libraries card is required to borrow materials. ME Libraries lets you use your library card from your home library to join other public libraries across Alberta and borrow their materials using ONE library card. Make the most of your library card and access more items for free! Sign up for ME Libraries or find out more.
