The Southern Gulf Islands libraries represent five independently run library facilities on Pender, Mayne, Galiano, Saturna, and Piers islands. Each library has a governing Board which sets governance and operational policies.
The five libraries come together under the umbrella of the Pender Island Public Library Association to obtain funding from the Capital Regional District (CRD), Victoria BC, and the Libraries Branch, BC Ministry of Municipal Affartis.
CRD Southern Gulf Islands Public Library Commission
The five libraries, along with the CRD Director for the Southern Gulf Islands, make up the CRD’s Southern Gulf Islands Public Library Commission. This group focuses on providing common library services that benefit our island patrons, as well as sharing knowledge, interests and goals.
