Programs for Kids

Growing with ADHD | Thursday, April 10th at 7:00 p.m.

Kindergarten Confidence | Wednesday, May 21st at 6:30 pm.

Enjoy connecting with other families and playing with LEGO in this small group, sensory-friendly, distraction-reduced program. Please contact the branch for more information or to register. For Grades K – 7. 

Children in Grades 2 - 4 are matched with a Big Buddy teen mentor for fun and informal STEAM learning.

VPL is collecting and delivering Caring Cards for isolated residents.

These early language and literacy workshops provide free professional development for early childhood educators (ECE), childcare providers, and adults working with young children in the community.

Kids in Grades K – 7 can drop by participating branches anytime to write and illustrate their own book and we’ll make it available for other kids to read in the library!  

We welcome groups from schools, child care centres, and other children’s programs in Vancouver to visit our libraries.

Be among the first kids ever to read new books! With Kids Read it First, you get to read and review Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) of books even before they hit the book store shelves.  

Our writing and book clubs meet in person at a branch, or virtually over Zoom.

VPL recognises that play is vital to children’s learning. To support learning we offer a range of high-quality play elements including toys, puzzles and games at every location.
