I've been coming here since high school, if not earlier. Have been using the TPL system since I was old enough to get a library card! One of my fave libraries around the area; it's definitely gotten an upgrade over the years. The 70s style of winding staircase, dim lighting and stacks makes me feel right at home. Majority of the collections here are reference material, hence the name though there is a section of the library you are able to take home. Computer use does require a library card. They've recently installed study pods on certain floors and you're able to reserve them to study, read or nap...I guess? Even on a Tuesday the library was hustling and bustling. There is lots of room for studying, reading or just lounging around with a good book in this library.
There was a section of the library for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival and the recent addition of Balzac's Coffee makes it more enticing to come here. Will definitely be back. Hopefully I won't take such a long hiatus this time around. Having fun is definitely not hard when you've got a library card.
