Tech Talks are back (virtually)!
Our popular Tech Talks introduce you to exciting new technologies and how they affect your life. This month, we're offering two lectures:
Introduction to AR/VR Wednesday, April 14, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Join us for a talk on how virtual and augmented reality are changing several traditional industries.
Declutter Your Data Thursday, April 29, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Learn how to clean up your digital clutter and organize your data with bestselling author Angela Crocke.
Thanks to a grant from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF), the Province of British Columbia, and the West Vancouver Foundation, we have added 25 Chromebook laptops to our collection!
WVML cardholders can borrow a Chromebook for 12 weeks.
Lynda.com is now LinkedIn Learning! Your Lynda.com learning history will transfer to LinkedIn Learning, but it may take a few days. Access will remain free for West Vancouver residents with a WVML card.
Join your North Shore libraries for a virtual celebration of Canadian authors, readers, and literature at the first Virtual North Shore Writers Festival, April 12–17.

The Friends are pleased to announce our newest Honorary Member: Lori Breen.
For 20 years Lori has been invaluable to every President and Executive. In addition to her busy schedule as the Library's Administrative Assistant, she always made time to accommodate our needs.
She has been our guiding light and we could always rely on her support to get us through difficult times.
Awarding Lori with an Honorary Membership is a token of our appreciation and to say thanks.
The Foundation is extremely proud to have partnered with the District of West Vancouver to support The Lab.
Of course, the Library’s usual Lab programming like Tech Talks and technology classes are now offered virtually. These classes are so important for supporting our community at a time when so many services have transitioned online.
The Foundation’s Annual General Meeting takes place in late April—more news will be in the May edition of the newsletter.
