RHPL On the Go Express Kiosks

RHPL On the Go is a new, exciting service that brings the library closer to you! With these express kiosks, members can 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. 

RHPL Express Branch Locations

The express branch kiosks are available at Ed Sackfield Arena and Fitness Centre and Elgin West Community Centre. The lending kiosks are self-serve and not staffed. Members can browse items and return items at the kiosk. Note: If you are returning materials to one of the Express locations, returns may not be reflected on your account for up to one week.
