How we help
Great library systems don’t happen on their own.
They need spaces, resources and, of course, great people.
Sadly, too many Toronto City Councillors continue to undervalue Our Public Library despite the decades of data showing a positive socioeconomic correlation between TPL funding and economic output.
OurPublicLibrary.to is here to provide the public with a platform to advocate on the library’s behalf and to remind City Council of the importance Our Public Library plays in the lives of Torontonians.
