Vancouver Public Library

Guestbook One of my favorite places in Vancouver!

Over the years, the Central Branch of Vancouver Public Library (VPL) has been a place of education, serenity and peace for me. The library provides a safe space where I can sit quietly to read a book or study. The VPL is a component of culture and an institution where culture is expressed. They not only have archives of movies, books and articles about culture and history but they also have programs grounded in B.C and Canadian culture. For example, they have an Aboriginal Storyteller series where individuals can learn about Aboriginal culture and people which is quite significant in Canadian history. In addition, the VPL hosts numerous art shows, book clubs and teen programs. The best part about the VPL programs and services are that they are completely free! They also offer rentals of their rooms at a reduced rate to youth! Overall, the VPL has educated me in a variety of ways and I suggest checking out their website for more information. Thank you VPL for being so youth friendly!
