As of September 8, our branches are open for browsing. Come on in and browse the shelves, take a look at new books, or read the newspaper. Because we are limiting the number of people inside each branch at one time, we are suggesting that patrons limit their browsing time to 30 minutes. Patrons can also come in and pick up their holds and use our computers and WiFi. If patrons need help picking books or with any information needs, they can still call or email us (604-436-5400 \/\u00a0eref@bpl.bc.ca<\/a>). More details and our new hours can be viewed here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.bpl.bc.ca\/news\/covid19<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n In case you are wondering what Tommy Douglas\u00a0library<\/span> currently looks like, I\u2019ve attached a virtual tour with directions on our arrows and services provided.\u00a0 To see the virtual tour click here.<\/a><\/p>\n Family and parenting programs are back for fall:<\/p>\nInformation Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n
