Bowen Island Public Library
Founded in 1924 and housed in the former Old General Store building, the Bowen Island Public Library is a long-standing community hub serving residents and visitors on this ferry-accessed island. It offers an unusually broad range of borrowable items through its 'Library of Things' — including telescope kits, medical equipment, and seed libraries — alongside digital resources, tech tutoring, and rentable meeting space. For a touring cyclist arriving by BC Ferries, it is a convenient first stop with free internet access and a welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere.
