Two smiling people inside the Runnymede branch of the Toronto Public Library, with one holding up an open Toronto Library passport with one of the listings signed, set against a background of bookshelves and a circulation desk.

This is part of my #100Branches project, in which my goal is to visit all 100 branches of the Toronto Public Library (as well as any other library I can find). Read my About page or check My Library Project on my website.

Nearest major intersection to TPL's Runnymede branch: Bloor and Runnymede (two blocks east, at Glendonwynne Rd).

Note: You can find updated info about this branch at TPL's Runnymede Branch page, including accessibility features.

Date visited: Oct. 7th, 2026, before going to a dentist appointment in the neighbourhood.

An open notebook page for the Runnymede branch showing a stamped library mark that reads "Runnymede Public Library 2178 Bloor St. W, Toronto M6S 1M8," accompanied by a hand-drawn doodle of a flower and a sun in blue ink.

Thanks to Julia for stamping and doodling in my Toronto Library passport, a gift from my author friend, Ellie Arscott aka .
