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.

I did some creative work at the Leaside branch of the Toronto Public Library recently, at 165 McRae Drive. Thanks to the librarian behind the front desk for stamping and signing my TPL Passport. ♥️

I also love her purple doodles!

A close-up overhead photo of a person's hands holding a purple marker over an open Toronto Public Library passport booklet. On the right page under the heading "East York," the Leaside branch section has been stamped with "LEASIDE BRANCH" in black ink and a small purple heart and smiley face.

A clean, well-lit branch with lots of space to sit and work. Checking out the Leaside branch page on the TPL website, upcoming events include Toddler Time, Adult Paint Night, Sunday Fun Club, Baby Time, After School Club, and Adult Board Games' Night!

This is definitely a branch I'll want to come back for another visit, because it turns out it has an art exhibit space I totally missed seeing.
