New Phone System

Notice anything different if you've called the library this week? Our phone system has been upgraded!

Callers now hear an automated greeting, followed by hold music, to give staff time to answer. Never fear; the phone still rings on our end and we are still available to take calls during library open hours.

If we don't catch the call in time, please leave a voicemail, send an email to library@squamish.ca or try calling again later. We monitor messages and endeavour to be timely in our response.

Thank you in advance for your patience!
