    Who are you? Sheila Wallace, University Librarian

    How has the Library changed over the years?
    Wow, has it really been almost 18 years that I’ve worked in this library? When I started in 1992, the library was split in 2 locations in the North Building. The Print Library in the area now occupied by Finance and the Boardroom. The AV Library where the computer animation labs are located. What a treat it was to move into this building in 1994. We had 3 public computers at that time and still used a card catalogue...

  • Pssst...David recommends

    Who are you? My name is David Chariandy, and I'm a professional writer and a teacher of English literature. I also sit on the Board of the Vancouver Public Library.

    What do you like about the Library? I love the way current periodicals are displayed in the library. It's easy to browse the covers of a wide range of art and culture journals at a glance (or with a few quick glances). This is smart and gutsy set-up for a library that has obviously needed to think long and hard about maximizing its shelf-space.
