Our librarians are regular contributors on CBC’s All Points West, sharing thoughtful book recommendations and connecting readers across Vancouver Island with new stories to discover. These monthly segments are part of the program’s mix of local voices, conversations, and cultural highlights, bringing library expertise to the Greater Victoria community.
Hosted by Jason D’Souza, All Points West is a daily program where people from Victoria and across the Island come together to catch up on the news, hear engaging stories, and find inspiration for what to read, watch, and do. Our librarians’ appearances highlight the library’s role as a trusted source for great reads and lifelong learning.
