Your OneCard is your library card

Your OneCard can also be used to borrow materials from Edmonton Public Library by registering for the free L-PASS program. You can also use your OneCard to get a TAL Card to borrow from libraries across the province, including Camrose!


Search our collections online 


The University of Alberta Libraries is Canada's second largest research library, with a print and electronic collection exceeding 4.7 million titles and over 8.7 million volumes.
