BC Libraries Cooperative
Our 200-member national cooperative provides libraries and related organisations with the services, cost savings, and support they need to do great work in Canadian communities.
From building websites to hosting an open-source ILS, our services reflect our members’ needs.
Everything we build comes with training, online resources, and phone & email support.
The Co-op's 2021 Annual General Meeting was held via video conference on June 17, 2021. Members elected, by acclamation, Cari Lynn Gawletz, Library Director, Grand Forks and District Public Library (BC) to fill the vacancy left as Dr. Diana Davidson (Alberta Municipal Affairs, Public Library Services Branch) stepped down after 6 years of exemplary service.

Prior to COVID-19, the majority of Co-op staff worked from their home offices, and as a result, there have been no significant disruptions to our operations. As of January 7, 2022, in order to comply with the most recent BC Public Health order, our Vancouver office is closed. Our COVID-19 Safety Plan is available on our website. Read more
Curious about what we do? Our mission is to help libraries help people. This work means we understand the challenges facing our members, so that we can guide and support them through times of unprecedented change. Read more
