Who We Are & What We Do

The Friends are great champions of the West Vancouver Memorial Library. We are active volunteers and supporters working together to enrich library programs, collections, and services. Our efforts focus on fundraising projects and hospitality. We fund and host the Remembrance Day reception and serve refreshments at author readings and concerts.

We care about our Library and proudly promote and enhance its exceptional service to our community.

New members are always welcome!

Yearly memberships are $10 for those over 18 and $5 for those 18 and under. Members receive admittance to the “Friends Only” book sale preview and invitations to regular meetings. Membership fees go towards funding our Library programs and services.

Applications may be picked up in the Library, or you can print out the Membership Form and return it to the Library.

For more information, please call 604.925.7410.
