Blue booklet titled “Toronto Library Passport” on a wooden surface next to a small handwritten note. The note reads, “Debbie, a little treat for you! You are exactly the person for this. Enjoy exploring and celebrating books and more,” and includes an illustration of a cat wearing glasses reading a book.

Huge thanks to my friend @elliearscott.bsky.social for this Toronto Library Passport and a sweet note. Much appreciated #Uplift and I can use it with my #100Branches project! #LibrarySky #TorontoLibrary

Two people pose inside a Toronto Public Library branch. The person in the foreground gives a thumbs-up, while the librarian in the background stands near a wall decorated with orange paper pumpkins and tote bags labeled “tpl.” Library shelves, a service counter, and office supplies are visible around them.

Worked on my MG novel at Toronto Library’s Runnymede Branch today! Enjoyed meeting Teresa at the front desk.❤ My goal is to visit all #100Branches of the Toronto Public Library! debbieohi.com/libraries/ #LibrarySky

Two people at a library checkout counter. The person behind the counter is wearing a blue lanyard and holds up a copy of I Want To Read All The Books.

In the foreground, a hand holds up an open picture book showing an illustration of Palmerston Library. The real-life Palmerston branch is in the background.

Cover of I Want To Read All The Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Illustration of girl hugging a book, surrounded by giant piles of books and a small white dog holding a book in its mouth.

Dropped by the Palmerston branch of the Toronto Public Library, where I used to work & included in my latest picture book! Gave them a signed copy of I WANT TO READ *ALL* THE BOOKS. 😁 Nice to meet Alex!

Two women smiling at a library service desk. One is behind the desk wearing a staff lanyard, and the other is in front taking a selfie. Signs on the desk include “1000 reads before kindergarten.”

Building a LIBRARY "represents the world we would like to have, a place where everyone is welcome."

Worked on my MG novel in Toronto Public Library's Wychwood branch. So much natural light! Did you know it began in 1898? More here:

Delighted to meet Kinda at Toronto Library’s Wychwood branch. I told Kinda about my #100Branches project, and she is rooting for me. 😁 #AllTheLibraries

Graphic with the Toronto Public Library logo on a blue background. Hashtags at the top read “#100Branches #AllTheLibraries.” In the corner, an illustrated girl holds a book titled I Want to Read ALL the Books. Text at the bottom says “Debbie Ridpath Ohi – DebbieOhi.com.”

As I've mentioned before, I want to visit all #100Branches of Toronto Public Library (side quest: to visit #ALLTheLibraries). Going to record progress at: debbieohi.com/libraries/

Any suggestions for a mapping app/tool with visually pleasing export options? Else will use Google Maps.

Map of Toronto and surrounding area with many small red icons that show a tiny white book, marking Toronto Library branches.

I haven't set a time limit for my #100Branches project because if I do, I'm worried I'll be focusing more on checking items off my list rather than getting to know the branches. 😁

It will probably take me YEARS, I suspect. Here's a screenshot of the map re: TPL branches. Very widely spread!

A woman wearing a hat and patterned dress stands outside the Toronto Public Library Guildwood Branch, pointing and giving a thumbs-up toward the entrance sign. Text on the image reads “#100Branches” and “Photo: Luisa Perrella.”

Achievement unlocked in my #100Branches project! I worked on my MG novel in the TPL's Guildwood branch, Scarborough. Well-lit, clean, air-conditioned, table space, cubicle power outlets, part of outdoor shopping ctr.

My goal: to visit all 100 branches of #TorontoPublicLibrary.

Thanks to @andreamack.bsky.social for the writing company this morning!

Heading out to do some more writing at a #TorontoPublicLibrary branch I've never visited before, as part of my #100Branches project goal (to visit all 100 branches of the Toronto Public Library). #KidLit #LibrarySky

Still my goal: to visit all #TorontoPublicLibrary branches! I've already worked on my books in a bunch of branches already. When I have time, I need to create a fill-in chart to keep track. Will also keep a bonus list, like working on my MG in the @richmondhillpl.bsky.social yesterday! #100branches

Illustration promoting the goal of visiting all 100 branches of the Toronto Public Library. The image features the Toronto Public Library logo on a blue dotted background, with a cartoon-style girl holding a book titled "I Want to Read ALL the Books." Text at the top reads, "MY GOAL: Visit all 100 branches of the Toronto Public Library!" and the artist credit “Debbie Ridpath Ohi - DebbieOhi.com” appears at the bottom.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize that #TorontoPublicLibrary has a network of 100 branches (!!!). Whoa. That includes 81 neighbourhood libraries, 17 district libraries, and two research & ref libraries.

My New Goal: To visit all #100branches of the Toronto Public Library. 📚
