As the library prepares to move into its new space in 2017 on Great Northern Way, space constraints and staffing committments have forced us to place a moratorium on accepting any donations. We are always grateful for the great items we receive from the community and we look forward to being able to accept donations again in the future.

Jennifer Ireland in the Library Window Gallery, June 21-29, 2016
Jennifer Ireland will be occupying the Emily Carr University Library Exhibition Window from July 21st to July 29th with a series of multi-medium works and performance as research. Ireland is working explore and ask questions of ways of being in space with specific focus on liminality and spaces that are other.
This performance series was inspired by Gaston Bachelard's contemplative writing in his book 'The Poetics of Space', and Michel Foucault's 'The Order of Things', wherein he defines and explores the idea of Heterotopic spaces.
“every inch of secluded space in which we would like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for imagination” G. Bachelard, 'The Poetics of Space'
