Appel Salon Programs
New books. Big Ideas. Join the Conversation.
The Bram & Bluma Appel Salon is a place where writers, thinkers, movers and shakers come together for discussions, debates and more. We are located on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library.
In the past, we have welcomed Douglas Coupland, Umberto Eco, Jeffery Eugenides, Donna Leon, Henning Mankell, Salman Rushdie, Jeanette Winterson, and many others. Please join us for our exciting season ahead.
Free tickets required for all events
Free tickets become available four weeks before the event. As most events are free, it is our policy to overbook. In case of a full program, your reservation may not guarantee admission. Unclaimed reservations will be released to standby customers ten minutes prior to the start of the program. We recommend that you arrive early.
