BC Centres Library Overview

The BC Centres Library contains resource collections from three co-located Centres; the Centre for Social Responsibility, Non-Profit Development, and Safe Schools and Communities. Each of the Centre’s resources compliments the work of the other centre's and benefits library clients by offering an extensive range of topics in specialized areas.

First established in 1998 as the BC Safe School Centre, the Centre moved it's location from Burnaby to Abbotsford in 2004 where it operates today within the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, at the University of the Fraser Valley. The move resulted in an expansion of the collection, in addition to engaging in research opportunities utilizing the expertise of university faculty. In 2005, the BC Centre for Social Responsibility was established, followed by the BC Centre for Non Profit Development in 2006..

Today there are over 2500 resources in the collection in a variety of formats from print, DVD, video, to educational curriculums. Each Centre has its own specialized collection, sample subject headings from each Centre's collection are listed below;
