The IWK Family Library is Open:
Tuesdays - Fridays, 9:30am - 5:00pm (Closed Mondays)
The library collection includes hundreds of books (and some videos) about medical conditions, child and youth development, grief and loss, parenting, mental health, newborn care, and women's and maternal health.
It also lends movies and video games, portable DVD players, picture books, comic books, and novels for all ages. We have toys and colouring sheets in a play area of the library.
There is a small multicultural section with some books in Arabic, Simplified Chinese and Mi'kmaq, as well as a larger French section.
The library is able to provide only limited personal printing for families at this time (i.e. documents of no more than 20 pages). We can search for and print health articles for you. We can also mail articles to your home if you wish.
How it works
- Patients, families, staff, volunteers, and the public may borrow books, movies, and video games for two weeks. Renewals may be done by phoning 902-470-8351 or visiting in person.
- After hours, items may be returned in the yellow Returns Box across from the library, next to the Heart & Hearth Café entrance.
