Library Card

Your VCC ID Card is your Library Card.  You can get your card at the Registrar's Office. You will need to present your VCC ID Card to borrow library resources or equipment. You must use your own ID card and not use someone else's.

VCC students can borrow items from other BC post-secondary libraries (including UBC and SFU). To borrow items from other BC post-secondary libraries, VCC students must show their VCC student ID card and proof of current registration. Stop by the VCC Library Service Desk to obtain proof of registration. 

Former VCC students are eligible for a free Community Borrowers' card.
