Connecting library and book lovers with initiatives that support the Vancouver Public Library.
The Friends of the Vancouver Public Library is a community of library lovers who volunteer, fundraise, and advocate in support of the Vancouver Public Library. Our mission is to support and grow the reach of the VPL by spreading the joy of reading through library-organized programs and strategic partnerships with the community.
Join Friends of the VPL today! As a member, you’ll receive exciting perks such as discounts at book’mark, access to exclusive members-only events and volunteering opportunities, voting privileges at the Annual General Meeting, and the satisfaction of supporting one of Canada’s biggest public libraries.
book’mark is a fundamental part of the Vancouver Public Library. Managed by Friends of the VPL, book’mark is home to gently-used books donated by members of the community through our annual Used Book Drive, as well as stationary, cards, gifts and VPL merchandise.
All proceeds from book’mark and library events organized by Friends of the VPL go to the funding of special programs and collections at the library.
Join us for exciting events throughout the year that support the library and the Vancouver community — all organized by Friends of the VPL.
Support the VPL by becoming a member and unlocking exclusive perks such as book’mark discounts, access to members-only events and more!

Your donation to the Vancouver Public Library helps fund special programs organized by Friends of the VPL, library collections and grows the love of reading within the Vancouver community. Thank you!
