In 2020 BC's 8 libraries held 3,294,468 volumes according to the BC Fact Book.
That number does not include access to over 1,000,000 ebooks and over 43,000 electronic subscriptions. The libraries also provide access to roughly 2 million electronic public domain titles available full-text through our partnership with HathiTrust.
If you were to attempt to read all of these volumes, and did nothing but sleep, eat, and read, you might finish by the year 9867 if you're a fast reader.
