Welcome to the June issue of What’s On and the
start of an exciting Summer season at Vaughan
Public Libraries! We have programming for all age
groups, and as the school vacations approach,
many parents may be looking for activities to help
their children engage in learning and creativity.

This year we will be offering virtual editions of          …or more accurately a StoryWalk®! VPL has partnered with

We now deliver so many programs online in order
to adapt to the changing needs of our community!
The key driver since Spring 2020 has been the
pandemic; but elsewhere our services continue
to change as Vaughan grows. Our work on new
libraries at VMC and Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital
continues and we remain on schedule to open later
this year. We’ve held public information sessions
on the new library at Carville Community Centre,
as well as potential expansion in West Woodbridge.
Finally, renovations on Maple Library are set to
begin, and we will deliver a bright modern space
for our customers.
You can find out more about these projects on our
building blog. We are very excited about our library
system and sharing better times with you in the
