🎲🐉✨Tweens & Teens! ✨🐉🎲

Are you looking for something fun & imaginative to do this summer? Have you always wanted to learn how to play Dungeons & Dragons, or are you a regular player? Either way, we have got lots going on for you here at the library this summer!

Our D&D 101 and 102 sessions are standalone "classes" that will teach you the rules in a fun and supportive setting with Graham, our resident D&D pro.

Want to get involved with a short campaign over the summer? Graham will be running one (with sessions happening every other Sunday) from July 5 - Aug 30.

These sessions are for ages 10 - 18. All supplies are included in these FREE programs!

To get involved: sign up in person, call us, or send an email to [email protected] with the player's age, name, contact info, and what they would like to sign up for :)

Hello, Campbell River! We have a little mystery for you. Someone returned a book that had this lovely old photo stuck inside it. There's no writing on the back, but if this happens to be yours, please call the library and let us know!

🎉 Today, VIRL turns 90! 🎉

For 90 years, Vancouver Island Regional Library has connected people, ideas, and communities across Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, Bella Coola, and the Central Coast.

What began in 1936 with six branches, 12,648 books, and a $500 grant has grown into one of British Columbia’s largest and most geographically diverse public library systems, serving urban centres, coastal villages, and some of Canada's most rural and remote communities.

This anniversary is more than a celebration of our history. It’s a celebration of the generations of people who have learned, discovered, connected, created, and found belonging through their libraries.

Today, communities across the VIRL system are celebrating this milestone with local events, guest books, activities, refreshments, and opportunities to share library memories. It's also the official launch of the VIRL 90th Anniversary Passport Program, inviting people of all ages to explore libraries across the region, collect stamps, and win prizes.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of VIRL’s story over the past nine decades. Here's to 90 years of stories, learning, connection, and community.
