If you are 16 or older, city wants to hear from you

To see if West Woodbridge is, in fact, in need of library services, Vaughan Public Libraries (VPL) are asking people to participate in a survey, which will be available until May 28 and should take about 10 minutes to complete.

The survey comes after the West Woodbridge area -- bounded by Kipling Avenue to the east, Highway 407 to the south, Highway 27 to the west and the Humber River to the north -- was identified as a potentially underserved area in the 2018 Active Together Master Plan, VPL said in a statement.

“The possibility of establishing a new library branch at Father Ermanno Bulfon Community Centre will be explored as an option to complement existing branches and enhance service to existing and future residents,” VPL added.

With only one submission per person permitted, the participants must be aged 16 and older.

“You are encouraged to include all family members in your responses,” VPL said, adding how people shouldn’t feel obligated to answer in case there are any questions they do not know the answer to.

Responses will also be kept confidential and will be reproduced in summary form only.
