Vancouver Public Library

Vancouver Public Library

Vancouver Public Library is committed to sustainability - it is one of our core values as an organization.

We actively encourage cycling and other modes of green transportation by patrons and staff. All library branches offer public bike parking and patrons can check the library’s website for the exact location of bike racks and the nearest bike route to each branch.

The Central Library has two secure bike rooms for staff, and a variety of staff cycling facilities are available at our other branches. VPL has as an active cycling committee that organizes events such as maintenance workshops and staff rides, and a bike buddy system that offers new commuters the opportunity to pair up with an experienced cyclist who can share riding tips and help find the best route to their home branch. VPL is a proud participant and regular category winner in HUB’s annual Bike to Work Week and the Share the Road Commuter Challenge.
