The Friends of the Prince Rupert Library invited the arts, crafts and culinary community of Prince Rupert and the surrounding areas to create an item inspired by something they’ve read (novels, non-fiction, magazines, maps, brochures, cereal boxes, the internet) to be auctioned in aid of the Prince Rupert Library.

The Prince Rupert Library has had many successful and interesting events in the past.  Click the links below to look at some of our favourites.
