Support the Library

For over 100 years Vancouver Public Library has played a key role in our community. As the busiest library in British Columbia, we're not only a cornerstone for Vancouver's neighbourhoods – we connect people to each other and a world of information and literacy.

You can support your library and help us to promote literacy, a love of reading, and the exploration of ideas, culture and knowledge by making a donation or volunteering your time with us today.

Donate

Tax deductible donations can be made to the following organizations:

• The Vancouver Public Library Foundation is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for Vancouver Public Library and its programs and services. For more information on making a donation or planned gift to the library, contact the VPL Foundation today.
• The Friends of Vancouver Public Library is a non-profit volunteer organization to support Vancouver Public Library. Membership is open to everyone. Contact the Friends of VPL for more information on how to get involved.

Corporate Sponsorship
