Print Collections

As the third-largest library system in Canada, VPL has over 3 million physical books available free of charge to patrons. While electronic books and other non-physical media are definitely popular, the satisfaction of holding and cracking open a book is something that is still enjoyed by millions of library patrons each year. You can nurture inspiration and imagination with a gift to expand VPL’s print collection. Your support will enable VPL to provide new books and magazines on a near-infinite number of topics, and resupply volumes that are well-loved and in need of replacement.
