Such exciting changes! This is a great step towards making our libraries more accessible. #vancouver #vanpoli

To help reduce barriers to library access we're simplifying & reducing fines & fees. Late charges for all items are now $0.20/day for adults & $0.10 for youth. Renewal limits are increased to 3 x per item. These & other changes are effective now (Feb 1): https://t.co/mfkCUIIkA7

Such a good video from our friends at @Local4948 highlighting all the things library workers actually do in their day-to-day jobs. It may surprise you but it is much more than books! @cupebc #libraries #librarylife #ontlab #bclab

[Local 4948 @Local4948]

What do library workers really do? It’s more than just putting books away.

In our new video, you’ll hear from library workers directly about the impact they have on the community. Share now—we need to give library workers the support they need.
