    1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 LIBRARY NAME AND LOGO The official name of the library is: DISTRICT OF NORTH VANCOUVER MUNICIPAL PUBLIC LIBRARY It is normally called: NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY OR NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT LIBRARY In order to avoid confusion with the City of North Vancouver Public Library we refer to our library branches as follows: Lynn Valley Main Library Capilano Branch Parkgate Branch LOGO The logo was designed by Matt Warburton, Emdoubleyu Design, in 2006 as part of the identity refresh congruent with the new Lynn Valley Main Library project. 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Date of Issue: January 2013 Page: 1 North Vancouver District Public Library Policy Manual 1.2 THE LIBRARY The Library serves the District of North Vancouver, which stretches from the Capilano River on the west, to Deep Cove in the east, south to Burrard Inlet and up the mountain slopes of Grouse and Seymour. It covers approximately 1,276 hectares and has a population of approximately 88,000 (2008). In the centre of the North Vancouver area lies the City of North Vancouver, which is a separate municipality having its own library system. While we do cooperate and are both members of Public Libraries InterLink, there is no political connection between the two libraries. The District is served by three libraries: Capilano Branch, 3045 Highland Boulevard, which serves the western part; Lynn Valley, 1277 Lynn Valley Road, which is the main library and also houses the Administration offices, and the Parkgate Branch, 3675 Banff Court which serves the eastern portion of the District. The library is a member of Public Libraries InterLink, a cooperative of eighteen Lower Mainland public libraries which provide equal access to all residents of the member municipalities as well as special services such as inter-library loan and audio books for readers who are visually impaired.
