F.A.Qs

  • Borrow by Mail is a free service offered to residents in rural locations within the RMWB. Sign up for your free library card, place your hold requests, and choose your community as the pickup location. We'll mail your items directly to you.

    When you're finished, return the materials to the book drop in your community (Janvier, Fort Chipewyan, Anzac, Conklin) or contact us at bxm@wbrl.ca or 780-743-7800 to arrange a return (Fort McKay). 

  • The loan period for rural residents is 6 weeks.

    Many items will automatically renew up to 3 times, if another patron does not have a hold. You can also place renewal requests online by signing into your online account or calling 780-743-7800.
