Borrowing from Libraries You Visit

If you are visiting another library, see the ULethbridge Library Services Desk to get a Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) and/or The Alberta Library (TAL) cards before you do. Both cards are free of charge for ULethbridge employees and students.

Privileges vary from library to library, so please visit their websites or contact them for access details.

If you reside at a distance, email Document Delivery Services (library.ddsl@uleth.ca) to request either or both cards.

Please contact the Library Services Desk (library.services@uleth.ca; 403-329-2265) if you have any questions.
