Free period products at the library

February 26, 2025

Libraries don’t just offer books. Some offer period products too!

A number of Vancouver Island Regional Library branches offer free period products in their public washrooms (thanks to community partnerships and donations). The initiative is meant to combat period poverty.

Check out our list of branches with free period products below and watch for updates.
