Alberta's Regional Library Systems
Alberta's regional library systems were created to secure efficient, economical, and expert library service for local municipal libraries. They include the Peace, Northern Lights, Marigold, Chinook Arch, and Shortgrass Library Systems, and Yellowhead and Parkland Regional Libraries. Regional library systems enhance local library service in areas of automation, technical support, acquiring and sharing library resources, offering on-site consulting to member libraries by professional librarians, and training. Regional library systems help provide access to the information all citizens need in their business and home life.
