Can I borrow books from the University of Alberta Library if I’m not a student, staff, or faculty?
Answer
Yes! Members of the public can register for a University of Alberta library card, which allows you to borrow books and items from the U of A Library, as well as place holds through our Guest Catalogue. You will need to bring photo ID and proof of a Canadian address to register for an External Borrower library card.
Staff, students, or faculty of any NEOS member library have special borrowing privileges at the University of Alberta Library. Bring the physical card or digital card/app that you use at your home library to register as a NEOS member libraries client.
