COQUITLAM
• Tech Club: Visit Coquitlam’s City Centre branch on Friday, April 7 from 2 to 3 p.m. pm for a free tutorial on Zinio and InstantFlix, CPL’s free magazine and movie database. No registration necessary. You can even bring your own device and tech questions.
• Teen Advisory Council: Teens from middle school and high school are welcome to volunteer with CPL’s TAC. Meeting once per month at the City Centre branch, the TAC is a program planning group that organizes and delivers events for kids, tweens and teens inside the library. Council members can volunteer for special events at the library, which means they can earn community service hours beyond the time they spend in meetings. The TAC usually meets around the middle of the month on a Thursday. Call Chris Miller at 604-554-7339 for the date and time of the next meeting, or email [email protected].
For more information about any of these programs, visit www.coqlibrary.ca. The City Centre branch is located at 1169 Pinetree Way and the Poirier branch at 575 Poirier St.
