Takeout for Contactless Pickup

Still available! Just ask.

If you are not comfortable coming inside the library, please be in touch with us to arrange for contactless pickup or delivery of your requested items.

If you are self-isolating or are feeling unwell, please contact us so we can prepare your items to be picked up by a friend or another family member.

You can request specific available items, or we can choose a variety of books for at-home browsing. Contact the library by email at info@bowenlibrary.ca or call (604) 947-9788.

Q & A's from our Survey: Streaming Films?

In our recent survey, we had lots of great questions and comments about our many library services, from eBooks to large print items, placing holds and e-learning platforms. 

One question was "I started using eBooks and love them. Is there an online service for films too? I don't have a DVD player anymore!"

Yes! You can watch award-winning shorts, features, and documentaries from more than 85 countries with IndieFlix. Over 7000 streaming movies available. Available to all Bowen Library patrons. 

Go to our Databases Page, click on IndieFlix, and use your library card number to create an account.

(If you've ever used our other RBdigital services like RBdigital eAudiobooks, digital magazines, or ArtistWorks, you already have an RBdigital login to use with IndieFlix).
