I live in Whistler, Squamish, Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley or the Sunshine Coast
You can get a free library card if you live in one of the following member cities of InterLINK

The fine print
Library card holders’ rights and responsibilities
Please note that you are responsible for all the materials borrowed on your card and for any charges on items that are lost or damaged.
If you lose your library card, you are responsible for any items checked out on your card. You must report it as lost immediately and we will block the card so that no one can use it. There is a charge of $2.00 to replace a lost card.
Change of address or password
