Virtual Library Updates

As we enter the New Year, we are thrilled to unveil three additions to our Virtual Library. Crafters, language learners, and knowledge seekers alike – get ready to be captivated by these exciting resources!

Catch the Creativebug

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to paint, knit, crochet or quilt, there’s no better time than now with our arts and crafts platform, Creativebug. With hundreds of video courses, engaging social features, and a rich pattern library, Creativebug is your new online home for creativity, at home or on the go.

Learn a New Language (or Two!)

Transparent Language is a comprehensive platform that will help you master your language-learning goals with fun, challenging lessons for all skill levels.  

It's equally helpful for brushing up on your high school French, taking up Portuguese before a family trip, or for English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students learning new expressions in English.

Whether you’re starting at the very beginning with a new alphabet or you’re an intermediate learner looking to enhance your vocabulary and grammar knowledge, Transparent Language can help. Download the mobile app to learn on the go.

All the News That's Fit to Print

CPI.Q is a database that connects you to trusted content from leading magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals. Featuring the best reporting from outlets like the Globe and Mail, Macleans, and more, you can broaden your knowledge and enhance your understanding of the world. 

Tackle your New Year’s resolutions with ease with one or more of these exciting new tools. Be sure to check out our upcoming program Explore the Virtual Library or book a one-on-one session with a librarian to get started today.
