  What is TRACpac?  
 

TRACpac is the online catalogue that allows all users of the Northern Lights, Marigold and Yellowhead Regional Library Systems to have access to thousands of books and other items.

With the purchase of a library card from one of these regional library system libraries, a patron can search for material, place holds and renew items. It's fast, user friendly and you don't have to leave your home or office except to pick the material up at the library.

Along with access to library catalogues, TRACpac also provides access to several excellent databases including Novelist, Canadian Newsstand, Encyclopedia Britannica and many more.

Not only can users look for books but they can also look for newspaper or magazine articles; students can do their research for homework and papers; business people can keep up to date on latest trends and reports.

For only $10.00 - $20.00 it's a pretty good deal
