Books and Blooms Plant Propagation Library

Love indoor plants as much as you love books? The Plant Propagation Library is coming back to the Jensen Lakes Library this summer!

Participate by selecting cuttings to take home with you or donate your own healthy plant cuttings to help grow our collection.

Books and Blooms runs June 24 to August 28 at the Jensen Lakes Library.

Alberta Bill 28: What It Means for St. Albert Public Library

St. Albert Public Library (SAPL) is committed to keeping our community informed about issues that affect public library services, access to information, and local decision-making. Alberta’s Bill 28, passed in May 2026, introduces significant changes to the Libraries Act that may impact how public libraries across the province operate. SAPL is a member of the Coalition of Alberta Public Libraries (CAP Libraries) and continues to work collaboratively with library partners to share expertise, advocate for practical, community-based approaches, and encourage meaningful consultation as regulations are developed. Alberta’s public libraries have long established policies that support age-appropriate access and rely on parents and caregivers to guide their children’s library use. If you'd like to learn more about how materials are selected and organized at SAPL, please visit our Supports for Parents and Caregivers page at sapl.ca. Read more about Bill 28 and CAP Libraries here. 

 

Cashless at Jensen Lakes Library Service Desk

We've made changes to how you pay at the Jensen Lakes Library service desk. As of March 1, we are only accepting debit or credit (Amex, MC, Visa). Printing/photocopying services continue with coin operated machines. The printer payment machine will give coin change. (It does accept bills but it won't give bills back). Services at the Downtown Library will remain unchanged. Thank you for your understanding.
