Smithers Public Library is the recipient of the inaugural British Columbia Library Association’s (BCLA) Building Better Communities Award for its extensive work building a relationship with the local First Nation (Wet’suwet’en) community. This included promoting the library as a community hub and safe space and partnering with outside organizations to extend services beyond the library’s walls.
Since establishing and maintaining this cross-cultural relationship there has been an increase in local First Nation community members accessing the library and realizing it as a place that is open, equitable, and inclusive.

It’s summer, and you know what that means…Summer Reading Club is back! At Summer Reading Club, we play games, do crafts, read great books, and generally just have a good time. Every child who registers in SRC gets a reading record and fun stickers to keep track of their summer reading, and if they meet their personal reading goal by summer’s end, they’ll earn a reading medal. Kids can attend as many club meetings as they choose, or they can participate on their own by keeping track of their reading at home or wherever their summer adventures may take them!
Kids, join the fun this summer and take a walk on the wild side with a club near you:
*Club dates for Hagwilget, Gitanyow, Gitsegukla, Kispiox Village, and Glen Vowell will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
Meets Wednesday evenings 6 to 9:30 p.m. except the 3rd Wednesday of each month
Schedule may change, so check back to be sure.
