In addition to our regular library collection, the Inuvik Centennial Library has a unique area just waiting for you to explore. The Dick Hill Northern Collection contains over 10,000 items donated to the Inuvik Centennial Library in 1995 by Dick Hill, a long term resident, former mayor, and avid collector of anything Northern: books, articles, reports, maps, site plans, oil and gas hearings, artifacts and more.

• Northern videos to view in our Community room.
• A large selection of magazines, Northern newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and the Globe and Mail for you to read
