If one of yours is to take advantage of some free classes or pick up a new skill or hobby, it may be time to head to the Vancouver Public Library (VPL), which currently has nearly 400 free classes, workshops, socials, and book clubs for adults listed!

In addition to online and in-person educational courses, VPL offers library-goers a variety of career and immigration services, family-friendly activities, book clubs, and film screenings.
