Beyond Books

Coquitlam Public Library Open House

Experience Coquitlam Public Library - Beyond Books! Demonstrations of lendable technology, streaming services, research tools, and more will be ongoing and attendees have a chance to win door prizes.

Libraries are no longer the quiet, serious places people may remember from their childhoods.  No more “shhhing” here -- instead visitors to Coquitlam Public Library will find a relaxed and open atmosphere with a variety of accessible resources, technology, and interactive experiences for everyone. 

Join us at our “Beyond Books” Open House at Coquitlam Public Library – City Centre Branch on Sunday, May 28, 2023, from 12:00 - 3:30 pm, featuring opportunities to connect, access, entertain and learn:

• Lendable Tech Stations demonstrating GoPro cameras, binocular kits, and more.
• Read and Watch Station exhibiting electronic resources for movies, music, eBooks and audiobooks including Libby and Kanopy, on lendable laptops and tablets.
• Research and Learning Station featuring genealogical research using Ancestry, courses and tutorials offered by LinkedIn Learning, and preserving family memories at the digitization station.
• Newcomer Station with resources, workshops and books for new Canadians, as well as lendable Happy Lights.

Door prizes will be given away… including a Roku Streaming Stick and a $50 Superstore Gift Card.
