Vancouver Public Library – Central Branch
Media Resources
The Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library, located on West Georgia Street, is a place of inspiration for mind and spirit. Its Coliseum like architecture provokes awe, and has become a Vancouver landmark. Its stone, glass, and steel have been fashioned into 9 floors crowned with a public garden. ... Cards are available to residents of the City of Vancouver, all people who own property in the City of Vancouver, and all people who live within the Lower Mainland and belong to a library that is part of InterLINK. InterLINK is a partnership of seventeen public libraries in southwester BC that allows the public access to 73 branch locations without charge. ...
The Children’s Library, located on the lower level has a Special Needs selection containing audio visual equipment for the hearing and sight challenged as well as a Braille section. ... Videos are interspersed with non-fiction print materials, an arrangement not seen elsewhere in the library. ... Special Collections also holds early British Columbia newspapers and Vancouver City Directories on microfilm, dating back to the 1860s. ... Unfortunately, in a high traffic library such as VPL Central, equipment is subject to constant wear and tear and upkeep can become an unfeasible proposition. ... Other public libraries usually have a Media division but VPL Central has opted to integrate media resources with its book collection.
