Featured Story

Hello.

My name is Glen. I just moved to Toronto about 3 ½ months ago seeking employment.

That’s not always easy for me. I’m disabled in a wheelchair.

I needed help. So I turned to the Library.

Pam is the leader of the Annette St. team. They (all staff) made me feel welcome.

I didn’t even know how to use a computer. Richard, their tech guy, showed me how to build a blogsite and fast.

The site is used to promote my small business.

The Library has given me a chance to reach out to others. In turn, I’ve just finished a project to help others.

Thanks to Pam, Richard and all the staff at the Annette St. branch, I have employment opportunities and new self worth.

When I was made aware of patron stories, I was compelled to share.

Once again, thank you so much!


Yours,

Glen

Your Library. Vital to You. Vital to Support

Whether introducing books and the joy of reading to children, providing Adult Literacy programs, or inspiring youth to become engaged in its programs, Toronto’s Library opens doors to the knowledge and opportunities that can positively change lives forever.

Here are a few stories from Torontonians whose lives have been enriched by the collections, programs and services at Toronto’s Library. Their stories are featured in the Foundation’s city-wide promotional campaign this fall.
