Discovery Lab
Borrow a robot, learn to code, or get tech support
Located at the City Centre branch, the Discovery Lab is a unique space where you can interact with technology, games, and eResources. The room features our Lendable Technology collection and a staff member will be available most days to do demonstrations.
We are grateful for the Province of BC's Enhancement Grant that made this space possible.
