How You Can Help

We want to show the province how BC Libraries Change Lives. You can help by submitting your photograph, videotaped or written story about how a BC public library has impacted your life.
Other ways you can get involved in the campaign:
Speak Up On Behalf of BC Public Libraries
Contact your local Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Hon. Premier Gordon Campbell, Minister of Education Margaret MacDiarmid and/or your local media. Tell them how you use and benefit from the public library in your community. Statistics are impressive, but your personal story brings the BC Libraries Change Lives message to life.
You may choose to use one of the pre-written letters below. The content of these letters can be tailored and edited to suit your message.
