Miss seeing your favourite library staff? Come to our drop in Virtual Reference Desk!

Every week, join one (sometimes two) of our library staff as we answer YOUR questions on Zoom. Drop in any time during the hour. You can stay and chat or leave after finding your answer - the choice is yours!

Our cameras will be on, but your camera is optional. We will be able to screen share so you can see the resources we are using to find your answer. Feel free to ask for demonstrations as we go along!

But what types of questions can you ask? Consider...

  • "How do I borrow a book from Libby?"
  • "Do you have any suggestions for a good mystery novel?"
  • "Where is the registry office in Canmore?"
  • "Which eResources have digital magazines?"
  • "Does the library have any books on tigers? I'm writing a report for school."
  • "What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

And the list goes on! If we cannot provide an answer right away, we will get back to you. If you have a question specific to your library account or personal device, please contact the library directly.

You do not need a Zoom account to join us. You will need to download free software for your computer or mobile device in order to attend.
