“This is one of the oldest libraries in the city. Building on what has been – the integration of the new architecture on the old building. That’s a really important part of the library.”
Over the past one hundred years many generations of people have come through the heavy glass door of the this library: “I remember my first time going to the library with him [my son]. He got his first library card and first book. Six books.” People of all ages come to this library: “There’s a long history of me and my family here.” Growing up with access to a library has enriched the lives of so many Toronto residents: “I remember reading the Paper Bag Princess. When I was a kid we never went to movies. If it wasn’t for the library I wouldn’t have seen movies.”
