Your
Library Card
Anyone who resides in or owns property in the City of Fort
Saskatchewan may obtain a Fort Saskatchewan Public Library
borrower’s card. People living outside of the City may
obtain a card by paying the non-resident fee. Your Fort
Saskatchewan Public Library borrower’s card can also be
used at the Strathcona County Library in Sherwood Park.
Companies and organizations may obtain a Corporate Card.
Persons with borrower’s cards from Edmonton Public
Library, Gibbons Public Library, and St. Albert Public
Library may apply for a Reciprocal Card (charged at
the same rate as a local resident).
Current library members may apply for a TAL Card (The
Alberta Library) which gives limited borrowing
privileges to most Alberta libraries. For more information
on the TAL card, visit the
TAL
website
or ask an FSPL staff member.

How do I get a card?
If
you are an adult aged 18 or over, you can obtain a Fort
Saskatchewan Public Library card at the Library by paying
the card fee and presenting one piece of identification
(such as driver's license, tax receipt or utility bill)
showing your identity and current address.
Children and young adults require the signature of a
parent or legal guardian. The parent/guardian will remain
responsible for all late, lost or damaged items.
You must renew your
card each year.
How long can I keep my card?
Your
card is intended to be kept for a lifetime but you must
renew it every year by showing current identification
and paying all fees. If you have signed as a Guarantor for
someone and they have outstanding fees you will be
required to pay these as well before renewing your card.
If you have an Alberta Library membership (TAL card), ask
to have it renewed when renewing your Fort Saskatchewan
Public Library membership.
What is my Personal Identification Number (P.I.N.)?
Your
P.I.N. is a security code used when accessing your library
account information or placing holds on library materials.
FSPL uses the last four digits of your home telephone
number as your PIN.
What do I do if my card is lost or stolen?
Report the loss in person at the library or call 998-4275.
Please notify the Library as soon as possible following
the loss of your card. You are responsible for any items
borrowed on your card until the card is reported missing.
How do I change my name, address or telephone number?
Please notify us of any change in name, address or
telephone number. This can be done in person at the
library or by phone (998-4275).
