Books and Blooms Propagation Library

Love plants as much as you love books? Interested in creating a lush plant paradise at home? We are thrilled to announce St. Albert Public Library's first propagation library. Books and Blooms invites you to explore the world of plant propagation in the heart of Jensen Lakes Library. Whether you are a seasoned gardener, a dutiful plant parent, or just sprouting interest, the Books and Blooms Propagation Library welcomes you. Connect with like-minded plant lovers in St. Albert's colourful community. Free to use, fun to explore, and pairs perfectly with a good book.

Kickoff Event: Tuesday, June 24th at Jensen Lakes Library - Celebrate the launch of Books and Blooms with plant swaps, book lists and displays, and green-thumbed friends. Whether you bring a cutting or just your curiosity, you’re invited! We will have cuttings to swap and share. Start your propagation journey with Books and Blooms. Open Through September 9th.

Fine Free on Children's and Teen Materials

We have an exciting announcement! We’re canceling overdue fines for all Children’s and Teens materials! That’s right - all past fines on children’s and teens materials have been wiped and there will be no more fines on these materials going forward! The first priority in our Strategic Plan is Create Young Readers, and we know that removing this barrier will increase access to top quality books and materials from our extensive curated collections. Check out our FAQs for more information and find our Media Release here.

Service Announcement: hoopla discontinued

After careful consideration, we have joined many other libraries in discontinuing the hoopla streaming service. The last day of hoopla service was April 30, 2025. Please visit our FAQ page for more information.

Don’t worry, we have you covered! Libby by Overdrive is our very popular eBook, eAudiobook, eComic and eMagazine service, with thousands of great resources waiting to be discovered.
