The Browsery at Toronto Reference Library
A Library within a Library

While most of the collection at Toronto Reference Library does not go out on loan, Browsery materials can be borrowed!

The Browsery is located on the first floor past the Information Desk, behind the Centre for People with Disabilities desk. Browsery books are available for borrowing on a first-come, first-served basis. No holds are allowed on Browsery materials. The items are loaned for three weeks and may be renewed. They can be returned to any Toronto Public Library branch. The titles represent recently published fiction and non-fiction. There is also a comfortable place to read while deciding which books to borrow.
