Public Library Service
In Alberta, public libraries are created by municipal bylaw and governed by public library boards. Alberta Muncipal Affairs has responsibility for the administration of the Libraries Act. The Department’s Public Library Services Branch also develops provincial policy in areas such as resource sharing and network development.
