Ontario enters province-wide shutdown on April 3rd
Ontario enters a province-wide emergency shutdown on April 3rd and we are required to modify our services due to the new restrictions that will be imposed. Here is what you need to know about how services will change:
- All libraries remain closed to the public, but we do have an extensive curbside pickup program in place. You can place a hold as usual and seamlessly arrange pickup at a library of your choice. For more information on this service, visit vaughanpl.info/curbside
- When picking up items, please follow signage upon arrival. The operating hours for each branch can be found by visiting vaughanpl.info/libraries
- Maple Library remains closed while the mass vaccination centre at the Maple Community Centre is in operation. We encourage patrons to return items and place holds for pick up at the nearby Civic Centre Resource Library during this time.
We continue to accept returns through our exterior bookdrops at all libraries except Maple, and all due dates, hold requests and overdue notices will continue as normal. All returned items are quarantined before being added back to the collection.
If you have any questions about library services, need help finding materials or are looking for a recommendation, we can help! Visit www.vaughanpl.info/ask_us or call 905-653-7323 during operating hours.
Please stay safe, and we thank you for your perseverance.
Maple Library Update:
From February 26, 3:30 pm, all services at Maple Library will be temporarily suspended until further notice. Maple Community Centre will be the site of a mass vaccination centre starting March 2021. It is anticipated that the vaccination centre will be very busy and that this will impact the ability of VPL to deliver services and provide collection access at Maple Library. In order to maintain appropriate health and safety protocols for all parties and to ensure smooth operations at the vaccination centre we have made the decision to temporarily suspend services at Maple Library.
Please see the document below for full details.
