Vaughan Public Libraries is thrilled to announce a momentous milestone in our Carrville Library journey

The Carrville Library project continues to make significant progress. The structural steelwork is in its final stages, approaching completion, while the foundation work, waterproofing, and backfill activities are in full swing. The contractor has efficiently executed mitigation strategies, ensuring smooth coordination of cladding and roofing tasks, which are now progressing according to the planned schedule.
In several months, Carrville Library has experienced significant construction updates. Continue to follow along as we share regular construction project updates.
Since the groundbreaking on September 19th, crews have excavated and disposed of the existing asphalt and base layer, created a new trench for drainage, installed electrical conduits for a new pole light and EV charging stations, and installed new concrete curbs. In addition, the creation of the new Multi-Use Path is well underway.
The remaining activities will include placement and compaction of subgrade surfacing, new asphalt and line painting, landscape work, and installation of furniture and fixtures.
Vaughan Public Libraries is delighted to announce that VMC Express is close to opening! Millwork, electrical work, equipment installation and library software are now complete.
The Vaughan Public Library Board plaque was installed in time for the recent Board meeting on November 17. The Board members and Trustees recently had the opportunity to tour VMC Library and VMC Express.
Stay tuned for the VMC Express grand opening!
June 8, 2022, marked another historic moment for Vaughan Public Libraries! A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Carrville Community Library, Carrville Community Centre and District Park. The new multi-use community hub will combine play, learning, fitness and sports spaces.
