We are gearing up for our next Library Champion cycle. If you're a newcomer living in the City of Langley this might be an opportunity that you need. The Fraser Valley Regional Library's information session is scheduled for Sep 16, 2021, 6:30 – 7:30 pm."For me, the most useful part of the LCP training is the introduction of the library and community resources that were shared during the training by the librarian, our facilitator and the other members of LCP because many newcomers who I reached told me that they found the help which they need easily from these resources and information that I shared with them, and they were very happy that they knew a lot of ways to involve our community." - Past Library Championnewtobc.ca/library-champions-project/library-champions-registration/ ...

We're seeking new volunteers for our Library Champ

We're seeking new volunteers for our Library Champions Project.

The Library Champions Project (LCP) is a three-month volunteer program for new immigrants.

During the project, Library Champions are trained to conduct outreach to other new immigrants. The LCP’s four training sessions focus on building communication, presentation, and outreach skills and on gaining an understanding of the range of programs, services, and resources that are provided by libraries and immigrant and community service agencies.

After the training, Library Champions develop an outreach plan that is doable for them and fits their schedule. These plans include sharing information with friends, family, colleagues, and other community members, giving group presentations, speaking with community agencies, and using social media. LCP facilitators support the Library Champions with their outreach by helping them identify additional contacts and overcoming any challenges.

On average, each Library Champion shares information with more than 50 other new immigrants. As of January 2021, more than 1,500 new immigrants have been trained as Library Champions and these individuals have reached out to more than 87,000 other new immigrants!

Register now for an information session with @readlearnplay, @surreylibraries, or the Burnaby Public Libraries. Details: https://newtobc.ca/library-champions-project/library-champions-registration/

BC bats contribute to the Fraser Valley economy and biodiversity, but little is known about them. The Playground’s Bat Packs, complete with an echometer bat detector device, provide borrowers an opportunity to develop an understanding, appreciation and support for bats through citizen science opportunities. You can borrow a Bat Pack from @readlearnplay with your library card. Free. Details: https://www.fvrl.bc.ca/batpacks.php
