Discovery Lab

Discovery Lab

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 most days to do demonstrations. 

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


Programs & Events

Each month, we showcase one item in our lendable technology collection, and one eResource. Our Library Technician will demonstrate the technology and answer your questions.
