The Morinville Public Library is committed to satisfying the needs for information and leisure by providing the community with diverse resources and excellent service.
This Mission is Fulfilled Through:
Providing a diverse collection of materials in a variety of formats, supplementing this collection with interlibrary loans, and, having programs that enrich the lives of our members.

Morinville Public Library has been in operation since 1967, serving the Town of Morinville and its surrounding area. It started in a former dwelling on 100 Avenue. Later it moved to the Historical and Cultural Center. In 1994, the Library moved to its present location in the Civic Plaza, right in the middle of town. As of 2006, Morinville Public Library has well over 3,000 members. We circulate approximately 700 items each month and borrow approximately 1,000 items each month for our patrons. Our staff size has grown from 3 part time staff to 7 part time, 2 on call staff and 1 full time staff. As Morinville grows, so does the need for library services.

Our services include an automation system that enhances and expands our services. This system features: public access catalog terminals, and public access to the Internet on high broadband connections. In 2000 the Town of Morinville joined the Northern Lights Library System. This initiative has improved our efficiency and our effectiveness. Through this association, we have many more services to offer, particularly better access to more resources throughout the province including books, databases and research. In 2006, the Morinville Public Library went broadband through the SuperNet - a Government of Alberta initiative to connect all rural Albertans. The libraries of Alberta have played a key roll in this venture.

Sturgeon County residents can easily access and visit five Northern Lights Libraries: Bon Accord Municipal Library, Gibbons Public Library, Edmonton Garrison Community Library, Morinville Public Library, and Redwater Public Library. Most residents of Sturgeon County will find that they can easily visit one, two or all these libraries.

Between the five libraries, Sturgeon County residents have a variety of program options to choose between. Visit us and open a portal to the world of information and resoruces.

Remember: with your TRAC card you can access almost any public library in the Province of Alberta!
