About the LibraryLibrary Services operates from two main libraries located in Grouard and Slave Lake and offers access to print and digital resources. You need library account to use the libraries services including digital resources such as the Databases, e-books and videostreaming services. Core collections of reference, periodical, video, CD-ROM, trade books and paperbacks are maintained at all community campuses. Access to services:
All registered students and staff members may access materials both print and digital. Students must provide their student identification number and be given an account in the library computer system.

Physical items will be sent to the campuses in the College courier and can be returned to either the Slave Lake or Grouard Libraries.
