At the heart of the community

  • Julie B.

CUPE members provide public library services throughout Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, the Central Coast, and some northern Gulf Islands – at 39 branches in 37 communities.

We are frontline staff including library assistants, circulation supervisors, office workers, IT, and drivers. We ensure our library users get the books and information they want – whether at library branches or in remote locations.

We all know firsthand how important libraries are to the communities we serve. As we bargain a collective agreement, we will continue to stand up for fairness and for public services.
