Multilingual Resources at the BPL!

Are you raising a multilingual child in Canada? Do you worry that your child might lose their home language or not learn English well enough? Children in multilingual families are challenged with the difficult task of learning more than one language at once.

The Burnaby Public Library (BPL) and Literacy Now Burnaby is committed to helping multilingual families cope with this challenge by providing resources and workshops that guide them towards the best possible solutions. There are many resources such as books and digital information at the Burnaby Public Library that can help support your child’s first language while helping them learn about other cultures. The library also holds workshops that offer assistance on finding these resources while sharing tips and practical information for raising multilingual children. 

Below, we have prepared several links to BPL resources for multilingual families.
