Beautifully designed to meet the needs of the Thornhill Woods Community, the Pleasant Ridge Library was built as an addition to the existing North Thornhill Community Centre. The library is situated closely to North Thornhill Children’s Centre and Stephen Lewis Secondary School, making it the perfect location for students, children and families. Enjoy a book or borrow a laptop while relaxing in our Reading Lounge or Reading Garden. Or join us for an exciting storytime and listen to a fun story by one of our public service team members. Pleasant Ridge Library has an abundance of Chinese, Hebrew, Russian, and French collection materials.

Vaughan Public Libraries respectfully acknowledges that our libraries were built upon the Territory and Treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation per the Toronto Purchase agreement or Treaty 13.
We also recognize we are situated in the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee who occupied this land before the arrival of European settlers.
The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We acknowledge their contributions to the life and prosperity of this land.
As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
