We’re delighted to share some exclusive images of the ongoing renovations and enhancements that have been taking place at the library.
We’ll share more updates as we progress, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the grand opening of the Carrville Library. Together, we’re building a space where knowledge thrives, creativity flourishes, and connections are made.
Vaughan Public Libraries is thrilled to announce a momentous milestone in our Carrville Library journey 
VPL’s CEO Margie Singleton and Deputy CEO of Growth & Communications Aleksandra Dowiat-Vine celebrated the Structural Topping Off of the Carrville Library, Community Centre and District Park.
Prepare for a remarkable new hub of knowledge, community, and endless possibilities! Follow along on our social media accounts and building blog for more updates.
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.
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.
