Library and reading room
The Carnegie Branch Library has about 11,000 books, DVDs, newspapers, and magazines on the shelves, including extensive Indigenous and Chinese language collections.
Don't have the ID needed for a Vancouver Public Library (VPL) card? No problem. VPL has a card option that doesn't require address ID. Just come in and see us.
The reading room card cannot be used at other library branches. However, the card can be used to request materials from other branches, which you can then pick up at Carnegie.
