Library Collection
The Library has more than just books!
Things you can borrow
We have Fiction and Non-Fiction books for adults, youth, and children, including large print books, audiobooks, paperbacks, graphic novels, picture books, board books, and magazines. Drumheller Library is part of the Marigold Regional Library System and The Regional Automation Consortium (which combines Marigold library collections with those of three other Alberta library systems), so if we don't have something here, we can request it from libraries all across Alberta!
