About the Library

Welcome to Prince George Public Library

We are a non-profit municipal library serving approximately 700 people each day at our two branches in Prince George, British Columbia: the downtown Bob Harkins branch and the Nechako Branch in the Hart. We also serve our users virtually through a rich collection of eBooks and online resources accessible from anywhere with a PG Public Library card.

A new look for your library

Our New Branding

In 2025 we worked with Splash Media Group to chart a new direction for the look and feel of the Prince George Public Library. This project included consultation with library patrons, community stakeholders, board members, and staff to ensure the voice of the Prince George community would drive the changes that would later unfold.  

Some of the recurring themes shared by the community about what they value most from the library included free access, a third space, low barrier activities, abundant resources, community connection, and magical discovery.  

These themes, along with the broader feedback we received, guided the creation of a refreshed slogan, colour palette, logo, and other key brand elements.  

We're excited for this new branding to support and inspire generations of library users for years to come!

A Reimagined Logo

A Reimagined Logo

The library’s new logo captures the themes that emerged from our community engagement process. The open door represents the library’s commitment to being welcoming and inclusive to everyone in our community. The open door also evokes the pages of a book, representing the library’s goal of providing access to information and learning. The colourful spark appearing at the top corner of the logo “page” symbolizes the sense of magical wonder, discovery, and creativity that people in our community associate with the public library.

Our New Slogan

Our New Slogan

The library’s new slogan represents our attempt to convey PGPL’s most core value and guiding principle in a single word: “Welcome!” Everyone who visits or uses the library is a part of our community. The public library is for everyone!

Refreshed Colour Palette

Refreshed Colour Palette

The library’s new brand colours have been developed to connect to the values and associations expressed by community members during our engagement process. Each of our brand colours is now dedicated to representing one key library theme or function, so that every use of that colour indicates the connection to its corresponding theme.
