March Events

We're looking for community feedback ahead of our strategic planning meetings in April. We want the Prince Rupert Library to continue to be a welcoming, useful, and meaningful place for everyone in our community.

Do you have a few minutes to let us know how you think we're doing, or what we could be doing to better serve Prince Rupert and our surrounding communities?

The survey can be completed online.

Physical copies can be picked up at the circulation desk.

March 4th is Games Masters day, and to celebrate Mike is hosting a one shot D&D campaign. Character sheets will be prepared and all materials supplied. 
Feel free to bring your own dice!

This is a free event with limited availability; to secure a spot, please register at the circulation desk, call 250-627-1345, or email circulation@princerupertlibrary.ca

Ecosystem Linkages From Mountains to Maritime

Coastal ecosystems of the northern  BC coast are uniquely shaped by the exchange of resources between land and sea. This connection links all life, cycles nutrients, and defines local food webs. We'll explore what makes our region unique, what we know about these ecosystem relationships, and how that knowledge might help us shape the future of our coast.

 

Thursday, March 26th 7-8 pm
Free admission.

Join our casual drop-in writer's group at the library! Open to anyone interested in pursuing creativity through writing. 

There will be the option of warm-up prompts, short exercises, or working on existing projects. Sharing your work will always be encouraged, but is never mandatory.

Saturday, March 28th from 2-4 pm in the Library's Multipurpose Room.

We all know housing is a challenge, but did you know that a local Poverty Law Advocate/Coordinator comes to the Library once a month to answer any questions you have?

• Landlord tenant Laws
• Employment Insurance
