📢LAST CALL: Explore The Great Vancouver Island Land Grab travelling exhibit at the Cowichan branch until Oct.16.

The exhibit, showcased during open hours, looks at the history and ongoing legacy of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway land grant, a pivotal chapter in Vancouver Island's history that continues to shape communities, land use and treaty negotiations today.

The next stop for the exhibit is the Sooke library branch, beginning Oct.18.

October is here, and we’re celebrating I ♥ My Library Month! 📚❤️

This one is extra special. We’re marking 90 years of stories, people and places across Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and the Central Coast—and looking ahead to a future full of possibility.

Throughout October, visit a branch, take part in a program, complete your 90th Anniversary Passport or share a favourite library memory with us.

For 90 years, VIRL has helped people find their way to stories, ideas, information, opportunities and one another. As we look to the next 90, one thing remains constant:

Libraries light the way.
