​Welcoming back in-person customers safely with extended hours of operation

Grab your library card! Vaughan Public Libraries (VPL) has reopened the doors to all community branches with strict COVID-19 safety protocols in effect. This comes following the June 14 reopening of the three resource library branches which have since welcomed an average of 8,500 customers each week.

  • Pleasant Ridge Library
  • Vellore Village Library

Please note: Maple Library remains closed due to renovations.

VPL is opening its community branches to the public  cautiously and safely. Customers will be able to browse the physical collection, access on-site study and reading spaces, and use public computers. Visitors are reminded to remain vigilant and follow public health guidelines, including physically distancing at least six feet (two metres) from others, wearing a mask or face covering, and thoroughly washing and sanitizing hands.

VPL is also extending hours of operations just in time for the first week of school!

Effective today, all libraries in Vaughan, with the exception of the Kleinburg Library, will be open:
  • Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

With the reopening of the community branches, VPL’s successful Curbside Pickup program will be coming to an end as of today. Since the start of the pandemic, more than 2.4-million items have been borrowed from the library including books, DVDs and CDs.
