Welcome: Visit the Library


Our library is a vibrant public facility for patrons of all ages. Our basement contains public washrooms, the main floor of the library contains junior, young adult, and adult fiction, DVDs, audiobooks, and more. Our top level is the reference floor, with its wonderful views of Fernie and our surrounding mountains, this where all non-fiction, biographies, opera DVDs, and magazines are housed, as well as our special collections including: travel, law texts, greenhouse gases and local environmental information, grief resources, and more. Our top floor also has public computers with free internet, and printing services (at a cost).

At Fernie Heritage Library we are very proud of our beautiful garden to the side of our building that hosts free WiFi, bike racks, picnic tables, and chairs for the public to use anytime. Our garden is a treat in summer, coloured with flowers, a relaxing space to read or study.

Please stop by for a visit and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask a staff member.
