Spread the love to a local senior!
Decorate a card and write an uplifting message for our community’s seniors — many of whom have been isolated and missing daily social connectedness that is so important for positive health and wellbeing.
You can choose from a template and email your message or drop one of at any North Vancouver District Public Library location, or at North Vancouver City Library.

We value your feedback and would love to hear from you as we plan to gradually restore more in-person services and access to library space.
Please let us know about your recent experience at the library and tell us what is most important to you when it comes to library services. Your feedback will help us as we plan for the months to come.
