🎉 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.
