Coming Soon! RHPL On the Go Express Kiosks
RHPL On the Go is a new, exciting service that will bring the library closer to you! With these express kiosks, members will be able to borrow and return books on the go. The express kiosks will be stocked with a selection of books for all ages and interests, making it a quick and convenient stop for your next great read.
The RHPL On the Go kiosks are part of the library's ongoing efforts to make library services more accessible and convenient for all Richmond Hill residents. Whether you’re taking your child to swimming lessons or on your way to work out at the fitness centre, our kiosks will provide a seamless way to borrow and return library books.

The express branch kiosks will be available at Ed Sackfield Arena and Elgin West Community Centre. The lending kiosks will be self-serve and not staffed. Once up and running, members can browse items and return items at the kiosk.
