Library

Delivering timely service and evidence-informed resources to people in BC and the Yukon facing cancer, and those involved in oncology care or research.
Public & Patients

All BC Cancer Libraries sites and Cancer Information Centres are closed until further notice. 

The physical lending of books, journals and AV material is temporarily halted, and all currently loaned items have their due dates extended until Apr. 21, 2020.

Healthcare does not stop and  neither does the library.  We continue to support patients and staff,  providing reference, research , document delivery,  and more from a virtual platform, and are monitoring our email and phones during our regular Monday-Friday hours of operation.

Patients and families can also contact us through our new Information Request Form. 

Thank you for your support and understanding during this temporary closure.


Collections

Search our catalogue to find books, videos, ebooks, and audio material held in any of our six locations.


Information Requests
If you live in BC or the Yukon, you can request cancer information from the BC Cancer Library. Choose to have your information sent to you by mail or email, or pick it up in person at the cancer centre nearest to you. 

Questions? Contact a regional librarian by phone or in person for more information.
