PLS Equipment

Peace Library System has many types of materials that it loans on request to libraries to supplement their own collections on a temporary basis. This includes a collection of equipment that can be borrowed for community nights and other outreach events. For more information, please contact Duncan Lotoski at dlotoski@peacelibrarysystem.ab.ca. PLS Equipment is available to PLS member libraries to borrow for a 3 week loan period. 

PLS equipment can be delivered via PLS van runs or picked up directly at Peace Library System headquarters.

*We are unable to ship these items through external couriers such as Canada Post or Reilley Transfer.
