New BookStop brings novel idea to north Lethbridge
Plot twist, northsiders: your next book is closer than you think!
The City of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Public Library are excited to unveil the BookStop, a temporary pop-up library operating inside Labor Club Ice Centre from now until mid-April.

“We’re thrilled to offer this new option for community members to engage with the Library and its services,” says Jennie Sudo, Community Liaison, Recreation and Culture. “The BookStop makes the most out of underutilized space at Labor Club and offers easier access to library services in a currently underserved area of the northside.”
Library members can use the BookStop to pick up holds, browse and check books out from a small library and drop off returns. It also provides the opportunity for residents to become more familiar with Lethbridge Public Library services.
“As our city grows, we want to make sure everyone has easy access to library services close to where they live and work,” says Terra Plato, CEO of Lethbridge Public Library. “Libraries support healthy, connected neighbourhoods and help communities grow.”
The BookStop is part of the Library’s commitment to expanding access to resources and services, gathering valuable feedback for future planning and enhancing neighbourhood connections across the city.
“This project has been a true team effort of Library and City of Lethbridge staff to conceptualize and get the BookStop ready for operation,” says Plato. “Our teams are excited to pilot this new service aimed at meeting the needs of our community.”
The BookStop follows the same processes as the Library’s permanent branches. Membership is required for check-outs. Books checked out from the BookStop can be returned to any Lethbridge Public Library location.
