Winter Break at the Library

Take-Home Storytime

Pick up a Take-Home Storytime Kit at the Library front desk starting Sunday, December 21!

Only available while supplies last.



While we take a break from Storytimes over the festive period, we are offering Take-Home Kits so you can continue Storytimes at home!

The envelope includes paper shapes and stickers to make your own snowperson, a snowy story to read aloud together, and you can even use it as a colouring book. There is also an easy bake recipe for making your own snowperson using just flour, water and salt.

Winter Break Family Fun

There will be two winter break family fun drop-in sessions on Tuesday Dec 23 & 30 10:00am - 2:00pm offering free movies & family crafts. No registration required, just pop in and see what's going on at the Library!

The Squamish Public Library and Squamish Arts invite local zine-makers to apply for the second annual Squamish Zine Fest.

The event will take place: 

• at the Squamish Public Library 
• Saturday, February 21, 2026 
• 11:00 am – 3:00 pm for the public 
• Set-up starts at 10:15 am 

Squamish Zine Fest is a community event that celebrates zines and DIY culture. We want to create a space that promotes expression, accessibility, learning new skills, and making new connections within our community. 

All types of zine-makers are welcome and encouraged to apply. Print goods must remain the focus of your table, and if you are bringing other goods to sell, they must be approved in advance. 

From compilations of historic zines and how-to guides, to stories that feature zines, the books below are meant to help you understand where zines come from, inspire your creativity and encourage you to share your voice.

Continue storytime at home with these books to cozy up with. Imagine all the fun we can have with snow!

Start your year with a gentle, restorative meditation workshop open to all experience levels.



In this New Year-themed session, you’ll learn how to cultivate a compassionate meditation practice - one that supports you through stress, strengthens emotional resilience, and feels good to return to again and again. You’ll leave with simple tools you can use anytime to feel more grounded, centered, and calm.

Thursday / January 8 / 6:30 - 8:30 pm

The start of a new year often brings pressure to set big goals or “fix” ourselves — but what if we slowed down and reflected instead?



New Year, New Mind is a relaxed, reflective session designed to help men take stock of where they’re at in life, without the harsh self-judgment that often comes with New Year’s resolutions. 

Friday / January 16 / 4:00 - 5:00 pm



The library’s Teen Advisory Committee (TAC) is made up of teens ages 14-18!

As part of TAC, you will help advise the library on services to teens in Squamish, plan programs, help library staff with programs and projects, and get volunteer hours!

TAC meets on the third Friday of the month from 4:00-5:00 pm, and snacks are provided.

No Storytimes over the festive period between Tuesday Dec 23 - Saturday Jan 3

ON NOW November 18, 2025 – January 19, 2026

Earth, Wind & Fire: Epic group exhibition

Mixed media, photography, paintings & prints.

The Foyer Gallery in the Squamish Public Library put out an invitation for local artists to create a submission to be part of this wall-based exhibition exploring the elemental forces that shape our world. This ‘Larger than Life’ showcase features a group of artists, each contributing a single piece that interprets theme Earth, Wind and Fire.

Sea to Sky Potters’ Ceramic Showcase

The Sea-to-Sky corridor is home to many artists inspired by the surrounding landscape. Sculpted by these elemental forces this region directly and indirectly impacts our artistic expression. This exhibition showcases Earth, Wind and Fire as muses for many artists spanning many mediums. Sublime and unpredictable, these forces deserve reverence and respect as we pull inspiration from them. Ceramics in itself is a temperamental medium greatly influenced by these forces. From the technical process of making with clay to the conceptual themes, these artists express their own interpretations of Earth, Wind and Fire.

Visit the current Foyer Gallery show at the library during library hours.
