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

I don't know if you have ANY contacts at #TorontoLibrary but if so, please do encourage them? Would love to see them here on Bluesky. 🤞🏽 I have talked to some as well.
Brookbanks is a wee branch, but is lots fun with great decorations, a second level, and enormous windows that let in a lot of light. I bet it's amazing to be there when it rains. 3 #100tplbranches #torontolibrary
Illustration of a large, multilevel library filled with people reading, walking, and exploring bookshelves. Text on the image reads: "There were more books than Hana had ever seen. It should have made her happy." The library features curved staircases, study tables, reading nooks, and posters with messages like "Reading is an adventure that never ends." From I Want to Read All the Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi (©2024, Simon & Schuster BFYR).
Those familiar with my most recent solo picture book #IWantToReadALLTheBooks may recognize the inspiration for one of the illustrations! #TorontoLibrary #CanKidLit

Delighted to find another Toronto Public Library branch I’ve never visited before. Thanks to André at Kennedy Eglinton branch for creating a new physical library card for me (I told him about Swansea) and for selling me these two #TorontoLibrary tote bags! #LibrarySky
Outdoor sign for Toronto Public Library, Swansea Memorial. Sign has red tulips and a tree near by. In the background is a brick building.
Woohoo! Just discovered a branch of the Toronto Public Library I’ve never visited before. #TorontoLibrary

A library isn’t just a building—it’s a gateway to endless stories. 📚Who else finds pure joy in places like this? 🏛️❤️ #books #TorontoLibrary #bibliophile
This is #TorontoDanforth
"We all have a collective responsibility to ensure the safety of our youth," @meganysta.bsky.social
It's a disappointing incident that goes against so much of what the #torontolibrary stands for, a safe space for children. #ImLibraryPeople

In #Toronto the #Torontolibrary online service is a +plus. Mind you that service was just restored this year after their online system was hacked & shutdown for months. No br to br loans, 1 had to drive lib to lib to find a desired book. You didn't know what they had till you looked on the shelf.
Oct 22, 2016 Feels like it was only yesterday. A six month trek visiting all 100 #torontolibrary branches. #JacksLibraryTour is still my most epic understanding of how my city works. - I still lovingly remember spending copious amounts of time with my five year old. #ImLibraryPeople
Author Ricky Lima holding up a library card for Toronto Public Library and his graphic novel UNDERGROWTH.
Take back a planet in organic battle-mech suits in UNDERGROWTH. Battle alongside four friends in this adventure by writer @King.K.Rule and artist @Daniele_Aqu. All you need to do is get carded! #torontolibrary #LibraryCardSignUpMonth #CreatorsGetCarded
As I watched, it reminded me of "The Librarians" TV series, directed by Jonathan Frakes (Capt. Riker), who happened to be behind the scenes for this Discovery episode. #TorontoLibrary
