Probably my favourite TPL location in the entire city (and I've visited quite a few over the years) - the expansiveness seems to enable a unqiue kind of creative curiosity which is difficult to describe. Make an effort to come in early otherwise you'll have no choice but to wander around the 4th and 5th floors looking for an unsecured seat + power outlet. Overall 10/10 especially recommended

Beautiful Modern Information SpaceSpacious and modern, this branch has various equipment and rooms to provide information: from computers with Internet and printing, digital hub for 3d design and print, green screen and video recording and editing room, self published printing of books, televisions, and private spaces for group study and meetings. Toronto has hundreds of branches and this is one of the best. Library cards are free with proof of address including usage of all the above. Upstairs are shelves of books and more study and reading spaces. There are also various events and talks hosted in this branch that are free to attend and participate in.

A massive beehive of students and academics. It's a place to go - to see it and take in the atmosphere, find a book and sit in one of the many, many quiet spots and learn. But there is always the feeling of potential here; like if you aren't there on a research project digging into something, it makes you wish you were.

Huge space, but I think I've been there on the wrong day. It was entirely PACKED and really hard to breath (as shown on the pictures).There is a gift shop though! It has really cute and trendy reactionaries, just a little pricey.Good place to go for public libraries and resources. But if you do have access to private university libraries, it is better off going there just for the vibes. But for certain types of books, the reference library has a greater selection.
