Upcoming Kids' Programs
reading link challenge
A reading trivia competition with hundreds of West Vancouver students in Grades 4 – 5 participating annually. Students study up on a pre-selected group of novels from November to March before competing in school championships (winners advance to the final). Interested students should check with their teacher-librarian to see if their school is participating.
Reading Link Challenge is generously supported by the Friends of the Library.

Youth and Digital Access Librarians develop programs using a variety of digital and screen-free technologies to support young people develop in areas like:
- Collaboration and communication

Family programming is offered for children as young as 4 (using mostly screen-free technology), with the majority of programs offered for ages 9 – 12.
language & literacy
We offer several sessions of reading assistance programs like Book Buddies and Paws 4 Stories (with a certified St. John Ambulance therapy dog), and author/illustrator workshops throughout the year.
