Stay apart, keep connected, have fun.
That’s the message Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL) wants to share to it’s members and users who can no longer physically come to the 25 branches, which have been closed for more than a week to reduce COVID-19 spreading.
While day programs and special library events cannot commence for the near future, online programming can absolutely continue, and, even expand – which is exactly what FVRL is stepping up to do.
People are encouraged to tune in, turn up the volume, and join the library for a Facebook Live digital dance party featuring DJ Jovie J on Friday, March 27 from 2 to 4 p.m.
Physical locations are closed to support social distancing, but online the library is still very much open, said Heather Scoular, Director of Customer Experience at FVRL.
“The library is more than just an essential resource for reading and learning, we are also a place for social connection. Beyond expanding our robust collection of digital content, we now plan to host live interactive library programs on our social channels. We are kicking off this initiative with a fun Facebook Live digital dance party.”
