Hi! 👋 I’m #LibraryLily and I love the library. Why? Please meet my awesome grandma. She’s a retired TPL Children’s Librarian who reads with me & takes me to the library. And, we like coordinating our outfits… wearing matching #ImLibraryPeople t-shirts. imlibrarypeople.ca

Shawn Kimel and Kate Schatzky's extraordinary unrestricted donation empowered TPL to invest the funds in areas where they were most needed. Thank you for believing in the work we do and trusting Toronto Public Library. Learn how this gift is making a difference: tplfoundation.ca/impact

The Ahmed family shared what TPL means to them.👇 "I’m thankful for what the library means to my kids. I feel at peace knowing that whenever we are there, my son and daughter have a sense of belonging. In a world that can be pretty exclusionary, that means everything to us.” 💙

As we wrap up 2022, a BIG thank you to our donors, volunteers & partners! And, a reminder that it’s not too late to give to our Holiday Campaign and make a difference in the lives of those who rely on TPL. tplfoundation.ca/holiday 416-393-7123 From Team TPLF - Happy New Year! 🥳
