After merging with the North Burnaby Library Association in 1957, BPL's first permanent library building, the McGill Branch, was built in North Burnaby in 1961.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The current 27,00 square-foot branch was completed in 2001.

Building on the nucleus of the Kingsway branch collection, the Bob Prittie Metrotown Branch became BPL's 'central' branch, and between 1991 and 2008, the library assembled remarkable subject collections at the location. A notable example was the British Columbia "Special Collections",<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> first established at the library's administrative/technical services site on Thunderbird Crescent in 1973 and moved to the Bob Prittie Metrotown Branch in 1991. The purpose of the collection was to provide a comprehensive resource on the history, peoples and lands of the province. Beginning in 1973, the significant British Columbia titles published each year were added to the collection, and the library also purchased important out of print titles as they became available. By 2020 the collection had grown to over six thousand volumes and included periodical and annual titles dating back to the 1870s. </p><p>Between 2009 and 2023, in a series of steps the Bob Prittie Metrotown Branch discarded approximately half its adult non-fiction collection, and focused more on library (event) programming and community relations. In 2022–23 due to shelf space constraints, approximately four thousand volumes and the historic back-files of B.C. periodicals and annuals were discarded from "Special Collections". Following a 2022 fire adjacent to the ground floor Children's area, the interior of the branch was re-arranged to better reflect the library's new priorities. </p><p>In 2009, the Kingsway branch was closed and replaced with the Tommy Douglas branch<sup id="cite_ref-BPL_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BPL-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> named after Canadian politician <a href="/wiki/Tommy_Douglas" title="Tommy Douglas">Tommy Douglas</a>, who served as the Member of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_Canada" title="House of Commons of Canada">House of Commons of Canada</a> for the now-defunct <a href="/wiki/Burnaby%E2%80%94Coquitlam" title="Burnaby—Coquitlam">Burnaby—Coquitlam</a> district from 1962 to 1968. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Branches">Branches</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Burnaby_Public_Library&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Branches"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BByLibrary.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/BByLibrary.JPG/220px-BByLibrary.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/BByLibrary.JPG/330px-BByLibrary.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/BByLibrary.JPG/440px-BByLibrary.JPG 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>Bob Prittie Metrotown branch</figcaption></figure> <p>The library has four branches </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Bob_Prittie" title="Bob Prittie">Bob Prittie</a> <a href="/wiki/Metrotown,_Burnaby" title="Metrotown, Burnaby">Metrotown</a> — <span class="geo-inline"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1156832818">.mw-parser-output .geo-default,.mw-parser-output .geo-dms,.mw-parser-output .geo-dec{display:inline}.mw-parser-output .geo-nondefault,.mw-parser-output .geo-multi-punct,.mw-parser-output .geo-inline-hidden{display:none}.mw-parser-output .longitude,.mw-parser-output .latitude{white-space:nowrap}</style><span class="plainlinks nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Burnaby_Public_Library&params=49_13_41.2_N_123_0_23.1_W_"><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">49°13′41.2″N</span> <span class="longitude">123°0′23.1″W</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">49.228111°N 123.006417°W</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">49.228111;
