The NewToBC Team is always looking for new Library Champions! Each year, dozens of newcomers are trained and supported to conduct outreach and share information with other newcomers in their communities.
If you are looking for volunteer work experience and a chance to meet new people and connect to your community, consider becoming a Library Champion. To learn more, register for an information session.
The Library Champions Project (LCP) is looking for newcomers who are:
- 19 years of age or older
- Enthusiastic about libraries
- Interested in volunteering in the community to share information about library and settlement resources with other newcomers
At this time, the following libraries are part of the Library Champions Project::
- Fraser Valley Regional Library
- North Shore libraries (North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Public Library, and West Vancouver Memorial Library)
- Richmond Public Library
- Surrey Libraries
To become a Library Champion you must attend an information session. The next round of information sessions will take place in September and October 2025. Residents of host library communities will be given preference when we select participants for the cycles but residents of other BC communities are welcome to attend the information sessions and will be considered for participation in the cycles.
