History of View Royal Public Library Association
View Royal was served by book mobile service prior to having its own library.
The View Royal Public Library opened on Oct. 17, 1971 as a centennial project
to commemorate British Columbia joining Confederation. 2000 books were collected
in a book drive and other books were purchased with donations.
The Town of View Royal was incorporated in 1988. Since that time, the library has
received yearly grants from the town and the provincial government. The low operating
budget is stretched to buy new books and other items as no staff salaries are paid.
All the people who buy the books, prepare them for circulation, and check out the books
are volunteers.
In June 1997, the new town hall was opened and the View Royal Public Library moved to
the lower level. At this time a public internet computer was set up for patron use.
This proved to be very popular.
The View Royal Public Library is not affiliated with Greater Victoria Public Library or
with Vancouver Island Regional Library.
