Library Regulations Update: Bill 28 and St. Albert Public Library

St. Albert Public Library is reviewing the new provincial library regulations that will require changes to library services by January 1, 2027. These changes affect how libraries manage collections, library cards, internet access, and some library spaces. As we work to understand the requirements and prepare for implementation, we appreciate our community's patience and support.  

To learn more about the regulations and how they may affect library services, visit our updated Bill 28 page.
