Language in the Library will restart on September 26th, 2025.

Coast Salish lands and communities are living libraries. From living libraries stem Indigenous language and story. Please join Jane Alcorn, Penelakut, and Stephanie Hohn, Librarian and Coordinator for Indigenous Initiatives, to learn together from living libraries for a welcoming hour of introductory hul'q'umi'num' language and story at VIU Library. Anyone interested in listening, learning and speaking hul'q'umi'num' is welcome to attend these sessions. 

Register to join us on September 26 at 12:00pm for the next session of Language in the Library.

We invite you to register your attendance at upcoming Language in the Library sessions to ensure that seating and refreshments are available for everyone, or in the event that we need to contact attendees with updates.

Email us at livinglibraries@viu.ca with questions, comments, or ask to join our email list to receive occasional updates including details about upcoming sessions.

Language in the Library will not take place during Reading Week on November 14th.
