With several months of questions under our belt, I thought it would be prudent to provide an update on our Question of the Month initiative. We’ve had a huge amount of participation in the project, with Post-it notes flooding our whiteboards across several public libraries in Vaughan. In case you missed my last post about Question of the Month, here’s an excerpt:

It was Harrisburg Community Library in South Dakota that came up with Question of the Week. We’ve adapted it to suit our needs at VPL. Every month, starting in [January 2026], we will pose a new query to our customers, starting a dialogue between them. Folks who want to participate may add a Post-it with their response to the display at participating libraries. The goal is for people to see that the answers to a lot of the questions will be the same for many of them. Questions like, what do you value most about Vaughan? What is the most important thing a community should have?
