Get Your Library Card!

There is no membership fee for a library card, so come on down to sign up! Anyone living in Mundare and surrounding area will be eligible to register at the library to receive a free library card. 

An Application for TRAC/TAL Card must be completed (available at the library), along with the presentation of one piece of photo identification bearing the applicant’s permanent address. The library card is valid from the date of issue to the date of expiry. Library cards must be renewed annually.

Responsibilities of a Cardholder

  • The cardholder named on the library card will be the only person who may use the card – the cardholder may designate alternate people to access library records.
  • The cardholder is responsible for all library items borrowed on their card and will compensate the library for all library items damaged or lost while borrowed on their card.
