Description

In 1966, the communities of North Saanich and Sidney joined VIRL and a branch was opened on Beacon Ave. In 1967, the library moved to the Annex at SANSCHA Hall. The library has been at its current location, a few blocks from Sidney's downtown, since 1982.

The Sooke branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library system was established in 1963. For more information about branch use, visit our Sooke Branch Fact Sheet.

The Port Renfrew Library Branch started as a book deposit station in 1964. The library is located at the Port Renfrew Community Centre and is open year-round.

Reviews

I have to say this place is THE-BEST place in Sidney BC CANADA ! JUST NEWLY RENOVATED! for a small town like Sidney has something new like this ? How lucky ! When I lived in Richmond BC , Richmond library is my favorite place to go, I just could not resist any library and bookstore! They always remained me of my time spent with my mom! When she was a librarian in HEBEI providence in China , that was one place I loved to go every day after school! I would be the most quite one just sitting on the floor and reading one book out of 50000 books ! Till today I still love reading a book ! I think maybe I should find a volunteer opportunity to work in the library one day ! I LOVE YOU  MOM!

The library space is very comfortable although there is a fairly small book collection.  One major drawback is the staff chatting with each other which can be quite distracting if you're trying to concentrate.

The branch was renovated in 2019 and it looks beautiful! Check out these post-reno photos.

Disinterested staff. The least friendly library I have ever visited in 60 years as a frequent library user

Nice and quiet, really enjoyed my time there

Enteted to find only 2 people inside. 1st time in since ban lifted. Didn't borrowed books. Read a couple of magazines. Sat on library computer to research some technical information & was allotted a maximum of 1 hour's time frame before being auto-exit.

Size wise not comparable with downtown libraries but it's adequate for Sudney residents. Besides borrowing books you can  also use their computer within time limits to google searches or enjoy youtube headphones provided and when on computer I think it's 3 hours max. per person as it monitors your usage time before it  automatically logs you out. To print documents or photocopy you have to pay for that. Get reference, books, magazines, novels find a good spot to sit, make yourself comfortable and start reading. It's a great way to kill time. The counter staff  on duty are really helpful. Outside parking spaces  are always avaliable anytime of the day. People constantly move in and out.

Great place to hang out and read, lovely gardens. Temporarily closed due to ongoing rolling employees strike

This little local library is a fantastic place to take your kids to grab reading material. They also have programs which are offered regularly on various topics. A great place.

Great library and location. Please install few EV charging stations :
