Administrative history
The Extension Library provided a service to residents of rural Alberta. It had a book collection of over 80,000 volumes which provided intellectual, educational, and leisure reading for its patrons. Books were sent by mail to individuals and families, and to small libraries and community groups. The Extension Library was also a major collecting centre for inter-library loan requests, and had access to the University's main library to support this function. The Library supported Extension courses in a wide variety of subjects through its close cooperation with the Adult Student Centre (Calendar, 1986/87). Many of the Library's functions were taken over by the Provinceþs regional library system in 1987. Heads: 1913-1945 Jessie Fleming Montgomery; 1945-1956 Flora Macleod; 1956-1957 Mary Isobel Dodds (Acting); 1957-1975 Mary Isobel Dodds; 1975-1987 Sylvia Dubrule.
