Posted on May 10, 2023 by Denise | Tagged community library, new library, VMC, VMC Express

Vaughan Public Libraries is pleased to announce the opening of VMC Express!

VMC Express is the second of the two new libraries in the heart of Vaughan’s new downtown core. The 400 square foot library is a self-service storefront conveniently located on Apple Mill Road, and its features and self-serve model make it a first of its kind in Vaughan.

Customers can enjoy street-level access to the newest titles and popular bestsellers and quickly pick up and return their items via automated check-in and check-out machines.

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station and YRT bus terminal are a few steps away, making this an excellent access point for people on the go. It also provides convenience for local residents and complements the more extensive VMC Library on the second floor of the building.
