Discovery Lab

Borrow a robot, learn to code, or get tech support

Located at the City Centre branch, the Discovery Lab is a unique space where you can interact with technology, games, and eResources. The room features our Lendable Technology collection and a staff member will be available during our Senior Tech Clinics (see section labelled Senior Tech Clinics below).

We are grateful for the Province of BC's Enhancement Grant that made this space possible.
