A Little Holiday Gift Help from the Friends

Christmas and Chanukah are almost upon us and the Friends of the Vancouver Public Library are happy to lend a hand with some great, affordable gift-giving ideas.

And when you purchase a gift from the Friends book’mark: The Library Store, from the Used Book Sidewalk Sale or give a Friends membership, all of the proceeds support the Library!

At only $5, a Friends of VPL membership is a steal and not only will it raise funds for the Library, the lucky recipient will receive a 15% discount on all merchandise at book’mark, The Library Store which features a wide array of locally made jewellery and cards, beautiful paper, note cards and journals, Library mugs, bags and much more. Be sure to drop in on your next visit to the Central Library.

You can pick up gently used books for the book lovers in your life at the annual Holiday Used Book Sidewalk Sale on December 8-10. The sale happens between 10 am and 6 pm on the Central Library Promenade just outside book’mark, The Library Store. The Central Library is located at 350 W. Georgia St

And the Friends plan to kick off the new year with much new activity by introducing a new website and updated Twitter and Facebook accounts that will publicize members-only social events and raffles and contests with prizes such as a Kobo eReader and paintings by acclaimed local artists.

So don’t miss out! Get your own membership today to support your public library and help family members and friends do likewise by giving them a gift membership.

Have a safe and happy holiday from your Friends!
