Collections

The View Royal Public Library offers a circulating collection for all ages of over 15,000 books and audio/video tapes. A number of educational and reference CD-ROMS are available for in library use on our public use computer. A Large Print books collection The library takes part in a province wide exchange system for Large Print books that enables us to keep a collection of about 100 large print titles available for circulation. Approximately twice a year, the collection is exchanged for another 100 books from another public library so that the large print collection is continually refreshed. The library has additional large print books which belong to View Royal and is currently expanding this collection. The Library collection is search able via computer (in library only) or by alphabetical listing of authors/titles in binders at the circulation desk.
