Beginning August 6, 2020 we will be limiting the use of our databases and online resources to residents of West Vancouver, students of West Van Schools, those who own businesses in West Van., and employees of the DWV. We are making this change in compliance with licensing agreements and to bring our practices in line with those of other libraries in the Lower Mainland.
If you do not fall into one of these categories, you can use the following chart to see which of our resources are held by your home library. If you have questions, please contact us at 604.925.7400 or email us at info@westvanlibrary.ca.
Thank you.
