Membership Privileges: Visiting Other Libraries
RDP Library is a member of NEOS Libraries.
Visit any other NEOS library with your iCard to get a membership at that library.
Visit any Red Deer Public Library (RDPL) branch for free.
If you wish to borrow items directly from RDPL, you'll need an RDPL membership, which is free for City of Red Deer residents. Find out more.
Other Alberta Libraries
Most libraries in Alberta are members of The Alberta Library (TAL), ME Libraries, or both. If you wish to borrow items directly from a library which is not a NEOS member library nor a branch of Red Deer Public Library, talk to RDP Library staff, or staff at the other library you wish to use, about the best way to obtain membership privileges.
