Quesnel folks: need some beach reading? ⛱

We’ve got a few things you might want to take home.

We have books and other materials available at no charge at CNC Quesnel Library.

Following a recent collection review, some materials are no longer part of our library collection. We’d love to see them find a new use. You might find something helpful for a course, teaching, research or your department.

CNC students, faculty and staff can stop by and take anything they find useful.

Viewing dates: August 18 to August 26
Viewing hours: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
