Language & Communication Support

Libraries in BC have many books, videos, and online tools to help newcomers learn and improve their English. Here you can search for materials by language level, by language topic or skill, and by type of material. These resources have been recommended by English Language teachers and will get you started. You will find many more resources in libraries. Once you have found what you are looking for, you can search your home library or go online to see what library holds the material. If your home library does not have it, you can ask for materials to be sent from another library to your home library. This is called an Interlibrary Loan. You can find out more about Interlibrary Loans by asking staff at your home library or reading about these loans on the website of your home library.
