The Library is Loaning Telescopes!
The Pender Harbour Library is excited to announce the launch of a new library loan program, thanks to a generous donation from the Sunshine Coast Centre RASC Astronomers on the Sunshine Coast, BC
Two entry-level telescopes have been made available for loan to members of the Pender Harbour community. These telescopes may be borrowed just like books for a period of 3 weeks by any registered library borrower. The only additional requirement is that borrowers must sign an agreement to return all parts of the telescope in good condition. There is no charge to borrow the telescopes, and no fee to become a library borrower.

The Pender Harbour Library
- The LIBRARY is operated by the Pender Harbour Reading Society as a non-profit society providing a limited library service to residents of Pender Harbour, Egmont, and Secret Cove. We are managed and are run by an entirely volunteer workforce. Thanks to the devotion and hard work of our volunteers, the library has thrived for more than fifty years. We are always looking for additional volunteers. Find out about volunteering at PHRC.
- We specialize in leisure reading materials, based on the interests of our members. We participate in BC’s Interlibrary Loan System and can borrow books from other libraries, provided they were published two or more years ago.
- We have an almost complete collection of Harbour Publishing’s books. These are books about the Pacific Northwest and, especially the Sunshine Coast. Look for the books with orange dots on the spine.
- Our funding is based upon an initial bequest donated in 1982, other bequestts and small grants, and donations which are always welcome.
