Library Cards

You can join the library if you are a resident of one of Fraser Valley communities that are served by the FVRL. Private business and not profits are also welcome as well as InterLINK library members. They even allow residents of Whatcom County, Washington to join!

Personal memberships are free to all members of the communities that are served. But you will need two pieces of identification if you are an adult. You will also need to bring along your current mailing address on one of those pieces of ID to prove you are from one of the communities. Teens and children are only required to bring along one piece of ID but they must be present at the time of registration.

History

The Fraser Valley Regional Library System was established in the 1930s and was the very first of its kind in North America and has grown to serve 650,000 people. With 24 libraries it is the largest public library system in BC.

A provincial survey took place in 1927 which brought about the idea of bringing libraries to rural populations in British Columbia. It was conducted Provincial Public Library Commission.

The survey found that large administrative library districts based on cooperation, and resource sharing between municipalities and school districts would be an important part of the education and entertainment of many people that could not afford library service in their own communities.

Funding for the Fraser Valley Regional Library comes from taxes raised in the communities that are served as well as an operations grant from the British Columbia Government.

The FVRL code of contact is as follows:

FVRL facilities are for everyone’s use and enjoyment; individuals shall not engage in any behaviour that interferes with the public’s right of access to library facilities, the safety and comfort of other users and staff or the protection of library resources, equipment and facilities. The brochure ‘Code of Conduct’ will be available in all libraries, outlining behaviour expected of anyone using the library. Violation of these rules may result in suspension or restriction of library privileges, including banning from the premises.
