Interesting Tips:
- Pitt Meadows Public Library moved from sharing space in an old house with Pete the Barber in 1971 to a new library adjacent to city hall and then to its current location at the busy corner of Harris Road and Ford Road.
- Many of the library’s summer programs are held outside in nearby Spirit Square, a hub for community activities and wonderful showcase for the wide variety of library programs.
- Library Live and On Tour is an innovative, stereotype-shattering literacy initiative developed by Fraser Valley Regional Library that “delivers the library” to people who do not know about libraries or have some obstacle to visiting them.
- The Playground at FVRL offers customers of all ages free access to fun and engaging STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) related learning experiences. The Playground features lending collections and in-library experiences.
