VIRL: Gabriola Island Branch
The Gabriola Island Branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library has anchored island community life since 1999, when it opened inside the bustling Gabriola Folklife Village after replacing a bookmobile and a books-by-mail service. The branch has grown steadily in size and scope over the decades and offers free Wi-Fi alongside bookable meeting spaces. For touring cyclists arriving on the island by ferry, it serves as a convenient public landmark and rest stop in the heart of the village commercial area.
