Imagination liberates the library

“Toronto’s libraries have turned a page; the temple of books has become a community oasis.”

“The imposing classical structures that housed the printed word in the 19th century have been replaced by modern, light-filled facilities as casual and cosy as your living room.”

“Though no one expected the electronic age would be kind to books, let alone libraries, the fact is that this city is in the midst of a bibliophilic renaissance. Despite decades of cutbacks and the continuing assault on the public realm in all its forms, intellectual and physical, the library has emerged as one community asset that actually means something to people.” (from The Toronto Star)
