We’re back for the 2025 Canine Library at John Hendry Trout Lake Park. Borrow a St. John Ambulance certified therapy pup, read them poetry, or join a poetry workshop. ***Sign-ups start at 12:30 pm—spots go fast, so don’t be late! The event takes place in the park at Victoria Drive at East 19th Ave. just in behind the community centre on the east side along the path.
Enjoy books, barks, and fun with VPL's Children's tent and VPL’s Writer in Residence, Selina Boan, at this rain or shine party in the park. Stop by and visit the BiblioBike, our electric cargo trike that brings the Vancouver Public Library to you! Get a library card, check out a book, explore VPL's digital library, and ask about library related services.
Animal Services with the City of Vancouver will also be on site with helpful information on responsible pet ownership, wildlife interactions/safety, and adoptable animals.
*Please note, you can only register for The Canine Library in person at the park. Kids 14 & under must be accompanied by an adult. Once you’ve registered to receive your bark-code, you can check out a pup for a 10 minute session. The pup lineup will be announced as soon as they calm down from all of the excitement.
Presented in partnership by Vancouver Public Library, Paws 4 Stories, St. John Ambulance BC/Yukon and Trout Lake Community Centre.
