Seniors

Could you use a little help with computers?

Connect with one of our Teen Tech Buddies!  Teen volunteers pair up one-on-one with adults for help with new technologies such as the Internet, email, digital cameras, ebook readers or whatever you want to know about!  Tech Buddies takes place at various branches througout the year.  Call or visit your local branch, or email teens@gvpl.ca for more information.

Are you a member of a book club?

Our book club sets are great! In each one you will find ten copies of the book, plus an author bio, book summary and discussion questions. We have also collected a number of large print books and audiobooks in our Low Vision Book Club Sets.
