What's up guys David here today, I'm gonna be showing you the Vancouver Public Library, but David libraries aren't really my thing
I can relate but I ask you to withhold judgment until you finish watching this video now come with me as I take you to
The roof of a library which was just recently open to the public on the day that we went there
Just so happened to be a four day book sale happening prices were
Ridiculously cheap fifty cents for a paperback and $2.00 for a hardcover and all the prices were cut in half on the last day
I'm always looking for good reading material
So guys leave me a comment below telling me the last good book you read, but that's not why we're here
We're heading to the roof and we're making our way inside as we enter we go onto the second floor
There's also a set of steps that lease down to the first floor
Which is the children's area if you have kids the second floor has DVDs and blu-rays you can borrow the newest books and a section
For teens as well as throughout the entire library
There are computers you can use to check the location of a book and next to the entrance is the book checkout
and for the sake of this video
We're gonna take the stairs because the elevator would make this a really short video
And now this is the really amazing thing guys inspiration lab
It opened about three years ago in the library and it's free sound booth. These things are professional sound booths with professional equipment inside
It's all free to use you. Just have to book a time
They also have a computer lab that's specially meant for editing and videos and all that stuff. It's all free with membership, which is free
Well now you might be thinking what's on floor for like a chocolate fountain or like personal massages or well actually no it's very much
Like a library and it's actually very boring
We'll just move on to floor five which is slightly more interesting because it's got these magazine stacks
So if you just want to chill read like a paper version of a blog you can check out what the draft preview is happening
Or you can be like hey who are the next future 50 or what's this hunk up to?
They also have these big old things that I've never actually used but I've seen them in the movies and they seem like giant magnifiers
For print and as we make our way up to the sixth floor, we'll notice a little Stanley tribute rest in peace Stan
Now for six is just a lot of books books everywhere rows and rows of books
But it also starts to offer some really cool views look we can see the people down to the book sale
This is also one of the few places left in the city that offers public pay phones
So if you need to make a call and you don't have a phone you can always come here
The entire building is excuse my language ranking. Awesome if you like architecture, you'll love this place
You can look at see down onto the other floors. How cool is that?
But let's keep going because we're almost at the roof floor seven has a lot of historical information in there Special Collections
But we have to make an appointment to get in there
Floor 8 has a current exhibit and now exhibits change every couple of months
There's also a massive double staircase in the center of floor 8 that'll take you up to floor 9
Which is where you will find the rooftop gardens now to get outside
All you got to do is wave your hand in front of this sensor
and then you can step outside and take a nice big breath of fresh air the
Rooftop is open as long as the library is so you can spend as much time as you want up there
The rooftop garden
consists of three areas the main patio area which is where we entered on to and the south side which has more
tables and chairs to relax at and it faces out towards Homer and Robson Street and
On the north side is a very similar setup to the other South Side with tables and chairs
But this overlooks West Georgia Street now across the street is the old Canada Post building and there's something unique about this
Amazon recently bought this building they're now constructing on top of the existing building
This building is going to be their tech hub for software development and it's expected to finish in 2022
And this is what its gonna look like
Now to sign up for a membership to the library is easy
all you need is two pieces ID one with photo ID and something with your address on it now if you're not a local or
Even from this country you can still go and you can still sign up
It's just gonna cost you $30 for three months
But if you just want to go and use one of the hundreds of computers, they have there and get free internet access
They'll give you a temporary internet pass for free guys. That's it. My name is David. I'm your guide to Vancouver
