We at BUPL are honoured to serve our communities with dignity, freedom of information, and accessibility. We strive to bring you quality materials, programs, and services you can rely on.

To celebrate Canadian Library Month, we'll be hosting a fundraiser where you can show your appreciation. You can purchase and sign your name on a paper heart in $2, $5, or $10 denominations, with donations over $50 earning a gold heart! We will add them to the Library Tree in the front entrance throughout the month of October.

As a token of our appreciation, you'll leave with a fancy I LOVE BUPL button and, while supplies last, a homemade journal donated by a gracious patron! (Tax receipts for donations over $20 can be provided).

A portion of the proceeds will benefit BUPL's youth club! Thank you all for your continued support of public libraries!

1. Take what you want, leave what you can.
2. DO NOT add sharp items or drugs/alcohol.
3. Take at your own risk!

Thank you for your cooperation! Stay safe and healthy!
