What is a TAL card, and how can I get one?

  • A "TAL" (The Alberta Library) card allows NLC Library student and employee patrons to borrow from other libraries in Alberta using their NLC memberships. Interested patrons must request a TAL card from your NLC Library. The card is then presented to a community library for limited borrowing privileges. Public members in communities other than Grouard must present a TAL (or TRAC) card issued by a community library to obtain limited borrowing privileges from the NLC collection.

 

Where do I get my NLC library card?

  • Your NLC library does not issue physical cards for students and staff. Students and staff are automatically registered as Library patrons and receive a Library barcode ID and PIN in their NLC email.

 

Can members of the public use the library's computers?

  • The public may use library computers, however NLC students and employees are given priority, so public use may be limited. The public is restricted from streaming and gaming activities. Printing is 25 cents per page for public users.
