Health + Wellness

The Library has an exceptional collection for up-to-date health information. We have also compiled a list of community resources and authoritative health materials to ensure you are receiving current and accurate health information.

Note:  Please remember that while libraries and librarians provide access to medical information, librarians are not medical professionals and cannot provide medical advice. If facing a medical emergency dial 9-1-1 right away. For mental health emergencies, dial 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or get confidential mental health support 24/7 at 310-6789 (no need to dial area code).

For medical advice seek a physician or dial 8-1-1 for HealthLink, a free-of-charge provincial health information and advice phone line available in British Columbia.
