LRC Passes

Did you know we lend out passes to the LRC?

It is true!  The idea behind our partnership with the Leduc Recreation Centre (LRC) is that we can offer adult and kid’s passes for 1 week to our residents.  This will give you access to the LRC to sample what our recreation center has!

Q & A

1. How often can I/my family take out the passes?

A: The LRC passes are very popular and are a resource for our whole community.  We ask that you only inquire at the front desk once every 6-8 weeks to borrow the passes once you have returned them before asking to take them out again.  This will give others in our community a chance to try out the LRC too.

2. How long can I check out the passes for and can I renew the pass like I would a book?

A: Since the LRC passes are so popular we have made them a one-week loan.  We also have the renewals turned off so that the passes can be lent out to more members of the community.

3. Can I place a hold on the LRC passes on TRACpac?

A: Currently, we are not allowing our patrons to place holds on the passes.  When an item is on hold for a resident, they have 10 working days to pick the item up.  So, if we allow holds on the passes, they can be sitting for up to 10 days waiting to be picked up!  We know the passes are popular and we really want to get them into people’s hands as soon as possible.

4. What happens if I return the pass late…or don’t return it at all?

A: We do not charge late fees on the pass.  However, after the passes have been late for a couple of weeks, we will either be telephoning you or emailing you.  If you have the pass, and it goes to “lost” on your account (after 28 days) we will be cancelling the LRC pass so it won’t work anymore.  A Lost Fee will also be added to your account and this is non-refundable.

5. I really love the pass, why can’t I take it out week after week?

A: We know you do!  We love the LRC too!  But the idea behind the passes is that you SAMPLE the LRC…and when you decide it is the recreation facility for you, you contact the LRC to find out how you can get your very own pass.  We have an honour system in place for waiting between asking for the passes again.  If the library feels you have used the passes beyond what they are intended for, we may choose to place a block on your account for a short time, giving others the chance to use the passes too.  Remember these passes are for you to try the LRC out, if you wish to be a member you will need to inquire with them about getting your very own pass.

6. What can I use this pass for?

A:  The pass will let you into the areas and activities of the LRC that a regular LRC membership will.  Please note:  they have special activities and classes that have a cost associated with them.  Our library pass will not get you in there!

3D Printer

We have a Makerbot Sketch 3D printer here at our library! You can print your own 3D designs or print out a project you found online! Curious about our printer? Here are some frequently asked questions:

You can create your own design using a variety of 3D software like AutoCAD or Blender. If you're a beginner and looking for a great place to start, try out TinkerCad. It's a free online software that teaches you the basics of building in 3D.  The website is TinkerCad.com and all you need to start is an email address, no download required and you can use it anywhere.  Yes you can! Just make sure the file you find is available in STL format for printing. Here are a couple of sites that you can find 3D designs:ThingiverseThangsCults3DPrintablesThere are some things we are just not able to print. If there is an issue with a print job you have submitted we will let you know.We have a Makerbot Sketch 3D printer.Printing in plastic can be relatively inexpensive. We will be charging by the time it takes to print your item. $1.00 for the first hour and $0.50 for every hour after.It can take anywhere from 25 minutes to 24 hours or more depending on the project and the number of pieces. Our 3D printer is pretty popular, too, so plan ahead. Our printer can only print in one solid colour but we have a couple to choose from. We have black, blue, grey, yellow and white available right now. If you want to make something in multiple colours you can print the project in white or grey and paint over it in acrylic paint.The largest size that we can print in one piece is 15 cm length x 15 cm width x 15 cm height. You can print larger projects in pieces and connect them together if it will not print within that size. 

Once we receive your print request we may contact you to address any potential concerns with your print. Library staff will not edit your design in any way other than changing the size with your permission, but staff may inform you if there are reasons your design will not print as desired. 

3D Printing Guidelines:

  1. We reserve the right to refuse print requests if: they are outside the capabilities of our printer; are weapons or parts of weapons; could be considered obscene or hateful.
  2. Our 3D printer is used for primarily non-commercial purposes. If you require a large amount of a single file printed we may refer you to a commercial 3D printing service. 
  3. If your object is not claimed within 2 months of printing we will assume ownership of the object. 
  4. Some objects require support and adhesive aids. You are responsible for the purchase and removal of this material. 
  5. Files uploaded to our server will be deleted after your object has been printed. If you require future copies, please retain your files for future submission.
  6. We will always endeavour to print the oldest item in the print queue, through we reserve the right to reassign priorities on a case-by-case basis.

DISCLAIMER: 3D printing is a new technology, and its use is primarily experimental. We cannot guarantee the quality or usability of objects produced. Objects created by this service often have sharp edges and/or are brittle, are not food safe, and are not suitable for use by small children.
