Programs for Teens

Celebrated annually in May, Asian Heritage Month commemorates the numerous ways that Asian Canadians have contributed to shaping Canada’s history. 

Submit your writing and artwork and you could be featured in ink, a teen journal for writing and visual art published by Vancouver Public Library.

Reading Buddies is a program that pairs teens aged 13-18 with kids in grades 2 to 4 who would like to improve their reading. We are looking for role models who can connect with children and help them become engaged with the library and develop a love of reading and learning.

Be a big buddy and earn community service hours! Buddies will help kids explore a different aspect of STEAM each week using LEGO, Osmos, and Spheros.

TAG stands for Teen Advisory Group – a place where you can share your ideas about the library’s teen programs, services and collections!

Registration open!
