The Library offers special services and resources for educators, teachers and students of all ages and levels. We make it easy to borrow great books for your classroom. Our no-cost Education Programs engage students around the curriculum. We love visiting your classroom and welcoming your class to their neighbourhood Library branch. We're here to support you and your students.

Education Programs
From exploring environmental stewardship, to 3D printing, our no-cost programs for every grade level are directly linked to the curriculum and can be delivered in your classroom or at the Library.
Class Visits and Tours
Bring your class to the Library for a visit or tour so they can learn about all the great, free resources available to them at the Library and how to use them. You can book a visit at most Library locations.
Library Cards For Students
If you would like to arrange for Library Cards for your students, please print off forms and distribute to your class. A parent or guardian must sign the application form for children under 16 years. Drop off completed application forms at least one week prior to your program so the cards are ready for your students.
