Dedicated staff, wide range of materials even inside the branch.
We live in different times now, but I have to share my family's experience with it.
This branch is close to our area and thanks to the welcoming staff and how the library rules are, we were blessed to feel at home by having access to the local library even before really settling in.
We were also fortunate to have come in the area in a time when the library staff made possible different sorts of events and activities for children. Thanks to them:
- my children found out about Snap Circuits game and fell in love with it (we had to buy one to play at home, which was the best decision ever)
- my children and I had fun being creative and using different materials
- we learnt about Aga Khan Museum and that's how we became excited to visit it (which we did, also thanks to The Toronto Library program and collaboration where we got free tickets...)
- we learnt about other museum and opportunities we could see or visit in Toronto AND in ways to be affordable for us
- we discovered books, authors and documentaries we never knew about but we could go through at the branch
- we could buy extremely cheap books we always dreamed of having in Romania (thank you for making our dreams come true)
and NOW pr NO MATTER WHAT we can, using the online services, just pick anything we want - online or offline - and study it at home.
By the way, we were surprised that at a local library the readers can CELEBRATE with the library on its Anniversary (with cake and all)!
Also, when you are welcomed by diverse staff who can be themselves, you feel safe. So you also made us feel safe. THANK YOU!
Thank you to all who make it happen and made it all happen for us! Congratulations for being great humans and offering great service!
