About the Library

- $ 50 buys 3 picture books for children
- $200 buys a Literacy Kit for children (15-20 items)
- $250 buys a Book Club set (12 books)
- $350 buys 10 Large Print books
- $1,800 buys a large screen TV and stand
Your donation to Vancouver Island Regional Library can make the difference between a good and a great public library system.
