South Cowichan (Mill Bay)

The land on which this library stands is Coast Salish territory, specifically of the Quw’utsun’ (Cowichan) and Malahat peoples whose relationships with the land continue to this day. The South Cowichan library branch opened in 1989. The original name of the library was the Shawnigan Lake branch, established in 1946.

South Cowichan Home Delivery: customers of the South Cowichan library who are unable to come in due to a disability or illness may be able to have library materials delivered once a month by a library volunteer. If interested, please contact the branch for more information.
