Our Vision
Toronto Public Library inspires the spirit of exploration, the joy of reading, and the pursuit of knowledge for people of all ages and backgrounds, beginning with the very young.
As cornerstones of their neighbourhoods, our libraries connect people to each other, to their community, and to their hopes and dreams.
Our rich resources provide the opportunity for everyone to treasure the past and to create a future that is full of possibility.
The Library promotes and enriches the democratic, cultural, educational and economic life of our diverse and evolving City.
Our Mission
