Borrowing CTS Materials
All Central Alberta teachers are entitled to a free annual membership at RDC Library.
Just bring in your school identification and visit our Circulation Desk.
With your membership, you can borrow library materials for up to 2 weeks at a time. You can also borrow media items (e.g. DVDs) as long as they are located in our Curriculum section and not the Library's general Media collection.
Your membership includes full on-campus computer and Internet privileges.

Send an email to library@rdc.ab.ca and include the following information:

- Phone number and email address for your school Librarian. If your school does not have a Librarian, please provide contact information for the school.
About the CTS Learning and Teaching Resource Centre
The centre houses a collection of print, digital and online resources for the newly revised CTS curriculum and serves as an access point to professional learning opportunities.
Educators are able to view resources and engage in professional dialogue, including face-to-face sessions, webinars, videoconferencing, and discussion boards.
