The Greater Victoria Public Library is offering free early learning programs for families in View Royal, British Columbia, through the middle of May. Until May 16, 2026, local branches are hosting regular Baby Time and Family Storytime sessions to help young children develop reading skills.

These activities take place at several locations, including the Juan de Fuca Branch. Located at 1759 Island Highway in Colwood, this branch serves as a main hub for residents in View Royal, Colwood, and Metchosin.

As the largest branch serving the West Shore area, the Juan de Fuca location has a dedicated room specifically for these events. The programs provide parents and caregivers with a consistent way to support their children’s education in a social setting.

Both the Baby Time and Family Storytime sessions are open to the public at no cost. These programs are part of the library system’s work to provide easy access to learning tools for the community during the winter and spring months.
