A Space Just for Teens

You will find a space just for teens at our Capilano, Lynn Valley and Parkgate locations – all branches have tables for studying, along with teen books, graphic novels, manga, video games and more. At Parkgate, there is even a study room dedicated for teens. At Lions Gate, we have a small selection of teen books but staff are happy to bring over books from our other branches!


Digital Books, Audiobooks, and Magazines on the Libby App

Did you know that there are certain titles from NVDPL that can only be found as digital materials? Especially audiobooks, manga, and graphic novels! Download the free Libby app to your Apple or Android mobile device or read on your Kobo. Find out more about Libby or get started searching for your next favourite digital read right from our catalogue.
