#Canada has over 642 #publiclibraries. This library in Toronto is the busiest with over 2.8 million users.

CDN libraries have offered an increasing amount of digital services, including e-books, audiobooks, streaming media, and online databases accessed on their own electronic devices.

cover of hardcover book Asian Pickles: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Cured, and Fermented Preserves by Karen Solomon lower right, small white bowl with preserved chopped summer squash in a red brine and a stainless steel spoon; center right, small dark grey stoneware plate on which sits some pieces of cabbage kimchi; center left, preserve jar full of whole pink and white shallot bulbs; along the spine side are three more jars of pickled vegetables.

Another win from the library! Asian Pickles by Karen Solomon is going to be my next used book purchase after borrowing it from the library. I think this is the fourth cookbook we have discovered through the library that we have decided we want to own it forever. #cookbook #pickles #PublicLibraries

Just finished ‘Second Chance Duet’ by #chicago author Ana Holguin and it’s a delight! The Winnetka Public Library has your copy, and if your local library doesn’t own it, ask them to purchase. Libraries are big buyers of books!
