Public Library Services

Public Library Services supports equitable access to library service for all Albertans, maintains a governance structure, provides funding assistance and establishes a province-wide network for communications and sharing of library resources. The Libraries Act sets out parameters for public library structure.

Community Services

Our Community Services section provide a variety of client-driven support and services that focus on building and enhancing the capacity of community leaders, organizations, communities/networks, and government ministries, boards, and agencies to achieve their goals and make a positive contribution to the lives of Albertans. Community Services staff are conveniently located in 10 regional offices across the province. They provide facilitation and skill development in areas such as strategic planning, community collaboration and partnerships, board development, and public participation processes.

Alberta Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector Initiative

The Alberta Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector Initiative is working towards creating a framework agreement to serve as a mechanism to establish how the government and the non-profit/voluntary sector communicate and work together.
