Vancouver Public Library, taking your knowledge to greater heights.

One of my fav places. I just recently rediscovered the joy of spending time there after not going for so long.
They offer so many great free events and workshops. And I love hanging out there to work on my creative projects.
Public libraries are the best! And the VPL central branch is an architectural gem on top of it!

News for the #library enthusiasts on here:

#VancouverPublicLibrary are banning the wearing of pins depicting watermelons (as well as keffiyehs).

From this well-written article it seems some apparent that outgoing Chief Librarian and CEO of the VPL, Christina de Castell, mayor Ken Sim and his party, the Diamond Foundation, and the Wosk family bear responsibility/influence for this decision.

A neat new (old) thing at my library is the launch of the VPL Virtual Vault, providing access to rare and historical books digitized from our collection.

"In partnership with Internet Archive Canada, a trained technician has been using a special machine called the Scribe to scan unique and historically valuable books and documents page by page."

Access the collection here:
