Inspiration Lab - Canva

This guide provides information about the online graphic design creation tool Canva. Canva allows users to quickly create and publish designs without having to learn complicated graphic design software. Canva is browser-based, meaning that any computer with an internet connection can use this software to create digital and print projects such as cards, poster, and social media posts. 

The Inspiration Lab

The Inspiration Lab is a space dedicated to digital creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. We are located on level 3 at the Central branch of the Vancouver Public Library.

The Inspiration Lab features recording studios, a high-performance computer lab with audio, video and image editing software, as well as graphic design and self-publishing software including Adobe InDesign. We also have analog-to-digital conversion stations for various forms of older media.

All of our services are absolutely free with your library card!

Reserve a recording studio or drop in to use a computer workstation. If this will be your first time booking or you need a refresher on the process, review our booking instructions.
