Vaughan Public Libraries (VPL) celebrated the 25th anniversary year and the opening of the new Children’s Area and Learn It! Lab at Bathurst Clark Resource Library on January 20. Guests enjoyed official welcomes from Vaughan dignitaries and afterwards were welcome to enjoy family entertainment for the rest of the day. Family entertainment included a story time with Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, a puppet show by Applefun Puppetry, free refreshments, a variety of STEAM activities and book arts stations. Bathurst Clark Resource Library, with 36,500 square feet on one floor, was designed by Montgomery & Sisam Architects and was built by Jasper Construction
Ltd. with the official opening held on June 12, 1994. For 25 years, Bathurst Clark Resource Library has provided excellent library resources and services to enrich, inspire, and transform the citizens of Vaughan. The Library began renovations last summer, completing Phase One. Phase Two included the new Children’s Area, a space created specifically for children and their families where they will be able to enjoy hands-on literacy-rich experiences. The area also includes the LEARN IT! Lab, VPL’s digital creation and digital literacy space for kids. The project overall has increased space for public use by 3,000 square feet.
