I believe in creating works that may be a memory of a person or an animal that may no longer be there in real life. I feel this is a way to remember something beautiful in nature for example that has died. I am inspired by a family friend who is an artist and drew a hyper realistic picture of me as a young child.

Later, you want to do something with your own hands, to know details, variations on a theme.

This problem is being addressed through new investments in primary care teams, training programs and infrastructure to address the gap. New technologies are helping people navigate the health system to find the care they need, and it also plays a different role in their own care.<br /><br />This webinar with Dr. Onil Bhattacharyya will describe the various places patients can seek primary care and describe how artificial intelligence (AI) can support both patients and providers. These new tools should be built with and for patients so that the healthcare system can support everyone's unique needs and health journeys.<br /><br />What to Expect:<br /><br />- Where to Go for Care: Learn about your options - from Health811's symptom checker to pharmacists, nurse practitioners and family doctors<br /><br />- How Triage Works: Understand the system and how it determines the right level of care for your needs<br /><br />- AI in Primary Care: Discuss how AI could expand access and support more efficient care<br /><br />- The Role of Patients: Explore the changing role of patients as medical information becomes more widely available<br /><br /><br />Dr. Onil Bhattacharyya is a family physician at Women's College Hospital, the Director of the Women's College Hospital Institute for Health Systems Solutions and Virtual Care and national co-chair of the Canadian Primary Care Research Network.<br /><br /><br />About the Series<br /><br />Bridging Minds: Health & Science Conversations is a partnership between the Toronto Public Library and Women's College Hospital.

And for good reason! Native plants are best adapted to (thus more successful in) our climate conditions, they support biodiversity by providing food and shelter for birds and pollinators and they enhance the beauty of our gardens. You have everything to gain and nothing to lost by adding more native plants to your garden... whether it is in your backyard or in containers on your balcony.<br /><br />Presented by the Toronto Master Gardeners as part of TPL's environmental program series, Our Fragile Planet.<br /><br />About the presenter: <a href=“https://www.torontomastergardeners.ca/”>Toronto Master Gardeners</a> have been advising and helping solve problems for Toronto gardeners since January 1988.

Centering on John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate (1962), film critic and author Adam Nayman invites you to think about the ways the film has reflected and reimagined the roles of misinformation and disinformation since the early 20th century. <br /><br />Whether you're a digital native or saw The Manchurian Candidate when it first came out, stay after the lecture for refreshments and a chance to connect and chat with fellow film buffs. <br /><br />***<br /><br />The program series includes an <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT550839&R=EVT550839">in-person screening of the film Manchurian Candidate</a> at the Toronto Reference Library taking place Tuesday, June 24. <br /><br />***<br /><br />About the presenter:<br />Adam Nayman is a critic, lecturer and author based in Toronto. He teaches courses at the Cinema Studies Institute at University of Toronto and has written books on the Coen brothers, David Fincher and Paul Thomas Anderson, as well as a critical monograph on Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/bdcwc2uw">check them out here</a>).

This month's film is Jonathan Kaplan's Over the Edge (1979).<br /><br />Synopsis (Arrow Video): Inspired by real-life incidents, Over The Edge is an incendiary ode to teen rebellion that quickly became a Gen X/punk-rock touchstone, and a key influence on filmmakers such as Richard Linklater and musicians like Kurt Cobain (who often cited it as his favourite film).<br /><br />New Granada is a brand new 'planned community', miles from the noise and crime of the big city and a perfect place to raise a family. The only problem is they forgot to build anything for the kids to do. Bored out of their minds and stuck in the middle of nowhere, the teens in the town, led by Carl (Michael Kramer) and Richie (an effortlessly charismatic Matt Dillon in his first film role), do pretty much anything to fill the time, quickly escalating from drugs and sex to petty crime.

Instead, a deal is made. Farquaad, who wants to become the King, sends Shrek to rescue Princess Fiona, who is awaiting her true love in a tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. But once they head back with Fiona, it starts to become apparent that not only does Shrek, an ugly ogre, begin to fall in love with the lovely princess, but Fiona is also hiding a huge secret.<br /><br />This program is suitable for all ages; younger children must be accompanied by a parent/caregiver.

Originating in underground Black and gay clubs, disco unseated rock as America's most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco as shallow and superficial.

Presenting his book Neil introduces the central concept of human evolution beyond physical form, and explains our trinity, our true nature of being (body, mind, and spirit). He clarifies the distinction between brain and mind and the role of the soul, identifies fear as the evolution blocker and love as the great enabler. In his book he emphasizes the importance of alignment through peace, joy, and love, and promotes the idea that connects individual evolution with planetary consciousness and concludes with the invitation to begin a "higher conversation" with one's soul. This he says is Another Way to be Human. Followed by a Q & A.<br /><br />Registration is required.

Traditionally made from materials such as wood, metal, glass, and shells, wind chimes have evolved over time to become artistic and sonorous objects. We propose creating our own wind chime using materials of different shapes and sizes, then observing and analyzing the sounds produced by the interactions between the various materials in the wind.<br /><br />Make a wind chime and understand how the choice of material affects the sound of the chime. The location where we want to place our wind chime will determine its size and shape. Children will be able to compare their wind chime to those of other participants and figure out what causes the differences in sound.<br /><br />If you or your child lives with a disability, and requires an accessibility accommodation to participate in this program, please contact Accessibility Services by email accessibleservices@tpl.ca, or voicemail, 416-393-7099, to make a request.

Children will dive into the fascinating world of electrical circuits by building their own lighting system. They will discover the concepts of conductors and insulators while assembling simple circuits. Using their newly acquired skills, they will also create a skill and dexterity game, adding a playful touch to their exploration of electricity. This workshop promises to ignite the curiosity of young inventive minds while developing their science skills and problem-solving abilities.<br /><br />This is a featured French language Summer Wonder program<br />To register visit or call the branch (416) 396-8969.<br /><br /><br />Toronto Public Library is committed to accessibility.

Beginning with pre-colonial African traditions, we trace the journey of Black hair through the eras of slavery, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, and into the present day. <br /><br />Participants will engage in interactive discussions that highlight how hair discrimination affects the Black community across various sectors, including health, education, and employment. The program encourages reflection, dialogue, and action by equipping attendees with practical ways to be allies in challenging hair bias. <br /><br />The ultimate goal is to educate, inspire advocacy, and celebrate the diversity and beauty of Black hair as a powerful expression of identity and resilience.<br /><br />About the Presenter:&#8203; Simone Wright is the founder of Parting the Roots. "'Parting The Roots' serves as a platform dedicated to addressing hair discrimination in the Black community and its integral connection to the Black Canadian identity.

Une illusion d'optique? De la magie? De l'art? En fait c'est un peu de tout ça. C'est un instrument développé il y a plus de 200 ans qui utilise la réflexion de la lumière sur des miroirs pour créer des motifs répétitifs envoutants. Dans cet atelier, les enfants feront leur propre kaléidoscope et seront exposés aux termes de réflexion et réfraction de lumière tout en étant captivés par la physique des scintillements des motifs sur les surfaces réfléchissantes. Ce jeu de lumière simple mais captivant fut utilisée comme outil de prestidigitation au 19ème siècle tellement il était fascinant.<br /><br />Pour les enfants de 6 à 12 ans.

With over 10 years of experience in the specialty coffee and hospitality industry in China, Hong brings international expertise and a passion for quality coffee to Canada's multicultural café scene.<br /><br />Before moving to Canada, Hong was the head instructor at Xiangtou Coffee School in China, where she trained hundreds of aspiring baristas and helped launch numerous successful coffee ventures. Now in Toronto, she continues to share that same spirit of mentorship and innovation, creating a welcoming space for coffee lovers, training new baristas, and offering guidance to emerging coffee entrepreneurs.<br /><br />Through Another Land Coffee and More, Hong is building a bridge between cultures and crafting exceptional coffee experiences - one cup at a time.<br /><br /><b>Kiara</b> is the founder of <i>Kairah Kitchen</i>, a culinary venture inspired by her love for the bold flavors and rich traditions of her home, Barbados. When she moved to Canada, she found herself longing for the comforting dishes she grew up with. That search sparked the birth of <i>Kairah Kitchen</i> - a celebration of Bajan cuisine and culture through food.<br /><br />Specializing in artisanal pepper sauces, meal prep, catering, community cooking workshops, and pop-up events, Kiara combines quality, creativity, and heart in everything she serves. Her handcrafted sauces and vibrant dishes are more than just meals - they're an invitation to connect, celebrate, and savor the warmth of home. Whether it's a special event or a weekday dinner, <i>Kairah Kitchen</i> delivers unforgettable flavor and a taste of Barbados with every bite.<br /><br /><b>Priscilla Bello</b> is the Lead Designer and visionary force behind <i>Priss Culture</i>, a bold and innovative fashion brand that fuses African-inspired aesthetics with contemporary everyday wear and cutting-edge technology. The brand offers premium, versatile pieces that resonate with Africans in the diaspora seeking authentic cultural expression, as well as global fashion enthusiasts who value style, function, and meaning.<br /><br />At the heart of <i>Priss Culture</i> is a commitment to innovative craftsmanship, combining skilled artisanship with technology-driven practices such as sustainable production methods and advanced digital design tools. This unique blend allows the brand to deliver fashion that is both culturally significant and globally relevant.<br /><br /><i>Priss Culture</i> stands out by addressing critical gaps in the fashion landscape—especially the underrepresentation of skilled African artisans in North America and the growing demand for culturally inclusive fashion. With its emphasis on quality, heritage, and inclusivity, the brand provides a meaningful shopping experience that celebrates identity while pushing the boundaries of modern fashion.<br />https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT557463&R=EVT557463557463000-Small Business00-ESL & Newcomer ProgramsNoneAdultNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone2025-06-13T11:01:03Z 2025-07-216:00 PM8:00 PMBloor/GladstoneNoneAre you learning English or new to Canada?

Bring a friend, and a snack!<br /><br /><b>Kung Fu Panda </b><br />1h32min Rated: G<br /><br />It's the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.<br /><br />This program is suitable for all ages; younger children must be accompanied by a parent/caregiver.

This relaxing activity allows children to create their own bath bomb<br /><br />and understand that this reaction produces gas (bubbles). They learn that the acid contains H+ ions and the base contains OH- ions, which react together to form salt and water. Each participant combines their ingredients and crafts their own bath bomb to take home, packaged in a small cellophane bag.<br /><br />For children 6 - 12 years.<br /><br />Registration begins Monday, June 23 in branch or by calling 416-396-8979.<br /><br />This is a featured French language Summer Wonder program.<br /><br />If your child lives with a disability, and requires an accessibility accommodation to participate in this program, please contact Accessibility Services at accessibleservices@tpl.ca or phone 416-393-7099.

This month's film is Todd Haynes' Safe (1995).<br /><br />Synopsis (Criterion Collection): Julianne Moore gives a breakthrough performance as Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s who comes down with a debilitating illness. After the doctors she sees can give her no clear diagnosis, she comes to believe that she has frighteningly extreme environmental allergies. A profoundly unsettling work from the great American director Todd Haynes, Safe functions on multiple levels: as a prescient commentary on self-help culture, as a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, as a drama about class and social estrangement, and as a horror film about what you cannot see. This revelatory drama was named the best film of the 1990s in a Village Voice poll of more than fifty critics.<br /><br />Optional registration here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/festival-select-safe-todd-haynes-1995-tickets-1360814505819?aff=oddtdtcreatorhttps://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT553180&R=EVT553180553180000-Culture Arts & EntertainmentNoneNoneAdultNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone2025-05-09T13:02:54Z 2025-07-286:30 PM7:00 PMBarbara FrumNoneWear your PJs for this evening program of stories, songs, and rhymes!<br /><br />For children, birth to 5 years, <br />and their parents or caregivers. <br /><br />1st Floor, Story Room <br /><br />Drop-in, no registration required<br /><br />If you or your child lives with a disability, and requires an accessibility accommodation to participate in this program, please contact Accessibility Services by email accessibleservices@tpl.ca, or voicemail, 416-393-7099, to make a request.

Drop-ins welcome.<br /><br /><b>June 6, 2025: The War on Disco (2023)</b><br />Explores the culture war that erupted over the rise of disco music. Originating in underground Black and gay clubs, disco unseated rock as America's most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco as shallow and superficial. The hostility came to a head on July 12, 1979, when a riot broke out at "Disco Demolition Night" at a baseball game in Chicago. 53 min.<br /><br /><b>July 4, 2025: Design Canada: The History of Graphic Design in Canada</b><br />The first documentary chronicling the history of Canadian graphic design and how it shaped a nation and its people. What defines a national identity, is it an anthem? A flag? Is it a logo or icon? How do these elements shape who we are? In the 60s and 70s, these questions were answered by an innovative group of Canadian designers, who used design to unify the nation. 73 min.<br /><br /><b>August 1, 2025: Your Brain: Who's in Control?</b><br />Are you in control, or is your brain controlling you? Dive into the latest research on the subconscious with neuroscientist Heather Berlin. Sleepwalking, anesthesia, game theory and more reveal surprising insights in this eye-opening journey to discover what’s really driving the decisions you make. 53 min.https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT33750&R=EVT337505552273375000-Culture Arts & EntertainmentNoneNoneAdultOlder AdultNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone2025-05-21T14:12:26Z 2025-08-012:00 PM3:30 PMNorthern DistrictNoneThis program helps people stay active, make friends, learn new skills, and have fun.

Une illusion d’optique ? De la magie ? De l’art ? En fait c’est un peu de tout ça. C’est un instrument développé il y a plus de 200 ans qui utilise la réflexion de la lumière sur des miroirs pour créer des motifs répétitifs envoutants. Dans cet atelier, les enfants feront leur propre kaléidoscope et seront exposés aux termes de réflexion et réfraction de lumière tout en étant captivés par la physique des scintillements des motifs sur les surfaces réfléchissantes. Ce jeu de lumière simple mais captivant fut utilisée comme outil de prestidigitation au 19ème siècle tellement il était fascinant.<br /><br />Créer un kaléidoscope pour comprendre comment la réflexion de la lumière peut engendrer un motif artistique fascinant. Activité créative combinant des mathématiques, des arts et de la physique qui expose les enfants à un atelier multidisciplinaire en français.<br /><br />Ages 6-12.

In music by Italian, Scottish and Irish composers, performed on harp, wooden flute and recorders, we explore the colourful and expressive blending of these musical styles. From the heartfelt traditional tunes of Scotland and Ireland, to sparkling dance tunes and sonatas by Vivaldi, McGibbon and Baillie, this program exudes musical fun and good cheer.<br /><br />In addition, verbal 'program notes' and a Q & A session will enable listeners to learn more about our music and instruments, and make for a well-connected experience.<br /><br />This program is part of the Ontario Culture Days.<br /><br />Free tickets will be handed at 6PM in Room 101 on the day of the event.

Against this history, Smil also asks what sorts of inventions might stand to transform the world in truly positive ways. Vaclav Smil is a Canadian polymath with wide ranging critically acclaimed publications on science, technology and energy topics. <br /><br /><b>Registration is encouraged</b>. Drop-ins are welcome.

Drop-in.<br /><br />Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother (June Squibb) as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business -- despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.<br /><br />PG<br /><br />97 minuteshttps://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT555522&R=EVT555522555522000-Culture Arts & EntertainmentNoneNoneOlder AdultAdultNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone2025-05-26T16:05:29Z 2025-09-302:00 PM2:30 PMSt. James TownNoneStories, songs and rhymes for toddlers ages 19 months to 3 years with their parents or caregivers. <br /><br />June 10th will feature a Drag Storytime with Dank Sinatra as part of our Pride Month programming!<br /><br />Drop-in.
