5 Branch Art Exhibit: Works by Fan Fine Art Studio 2025-07-02 2025-07-31 None None Woodside Square None "Throughout the month of July, an exhibit of works by Fan Fine Art Studio is on display at Woodside Square branch.
Fan Zhang is an elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA) and the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC). Fan Zhang has won first prizes for watercolour painting and the Best Use of Colour award in several art association competitions. He received the highest honour award in a juried international watercolor exhibition hosted by CSPWC. His artworks have been collected by the Government of Ontario Art Collection.
""My style ranges from representational to semi-abstract and abstract. My artistic expression evolves continually, reflecting my interests and inner feelings. I aim to merge the brushwork of calligraphy, the colours of oil painting, and the poetic essence of Eastern art in my work. My compositions are created through the organization and design of points, lines, and planes. I have a passion to teach children and adults. Therefore I set up a studio dedicated to nurturing artistic potential and guiding my students on a journey filled with creativity and expression in their art.""
This exhibit is part of TPL's Art Exhibit Space program. Toronto Public Library provides space for local artists to exhibit their work at locations across the city. These exhibits aim to reflect the diverse cultural interests of the city and its neighbourhoods.

7 Branch Art Exhibit: Works by Glen Downie 2025-07-02 2025-07-30 None None Northern District None "Throughout July, the works of artist Glen Downie are on display at Northern District branch.
Glen Downie, a resident of Toronto for over 30 years, has recently moved to the countryside. He is the author of several books, and a previous winner of the Toronto Book Award. He is also an emerging visual artist, developing his past experience in book arts, photography and collage, and exploring acrylics, lino cut and other media.
""Book arts and poetry - and, specially, found and excision poetry - have given me a deep interest in the visual potential of limited or isolated words, words taken out of their original context. At the same time, the lifelong struggle to articulate meaning has increasingly led me to appreciate and value wordless art, art that leaves its meaning generously open to interpretation. My visual art seems to move variously through works in which unexpected words provide some ambiguous clues to possible meaning, as well as others in which there are no word-signposts at all, and meaning emerges for each viewer from individual interpretations of colour, texture and shapes.""

""Marnie's main inspiration comes from Van Gogh, Picasso and Graffiti culture. She believes the purpose of art is to offer an escape. Her art is a meditation, a story of symbols and lines. It's a 'Where's Waldo'-like landscape with rhythmic blasts of colour and line, busy, alive.""

Afsaneh Shafai is an interdisciplinary artist, and a person of Iranian-Canadian heritage based in Toronto. She is a Registered Art Therapist. She graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba and did her postgraduate studies in Art Therapy at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute. In her artistic venture, she has had many group and solo shows of her sculptures, mixed media, acrylic paintings, and ink drawings in Toronto galleries.
""This project is inspired by a gigantic mythological winged creature called Simurgh with the head of a dog and claws of a lion, who, in Iranian legend, represented the union between the Earth and the Sky. It roosts in Tree of Life and when the Simurgh took flight, the leaves of the tree of life shook, making all the seeds fall out and coat around the world, curing all the illnesses of human/animal-kind. With the political climate of the present-where there is instability, unrest, and destruction-it is necessary to call on those who follow human rights, who are peace lovers, and who spread goodwill.""

15 Branch Art Exhibit: Works by Vidhushini Nanjappan 2025-07-02 2025-07-30 None None Bloor/Gladstone None "Throughout July, an exhibit by artist Vidhushini Nanjappan is on display at Bloor/Gladstone branch.
Vidhushini Nanjappan is an abstract artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her work spans mixed media, where she creates three-dimensional illusions and sculptural forms from two-dimensional surfaces, blending both traditional and modern techniques. Her early pieces were characterized by vivid colours and bold compositions, reflecting a 'young and wild' spirit. Over time, her artistic style evolved, incorporating a more primitive palette and deeper introspective themes. Vidhushini's experimentation with materials, from metal wires to plaster, allows her to continuously push the boundaries of her art.
""My work explores the deeper meaning of life through experimentation with materials, blending two- and three-dimensional forms. I aim to create pieces that invite introspection, often blurring the lines between illusion and reality. By pushing the boundaries of form, I express a continually evolving understanding of existence, with each piece reflecting a new chapter in my journey and offering a fresh perspective on life's complexities.""
This exhibit is part of TPL's Art Exhibit Space program. Toronto Public Library provides space for local artists to exhibit their work at locations across the city. These exhibits aim to reflect the diverse cultural interests of the city and its neighbourhoods.
The exhibit can be viewed during Bloor Gladstone open hours. Please check the Bloor Gladstone Library page before your visit.

She balances her career, motherhood, and artistic pursuits, maintaining creativity while contributing to her community and enjoying the beauty in life's simple pleasures.
""As an artist, I find beauty in the mundane and draw inspiration from ordinary moments of life. My work reflects the subtle charm of everyday scenes from my life in Toronto, influenced by my Indo-Canadian roots. Using simple tools, pens & pencil colours, my pieces are intimate, little sketches designed to draw you in and make you smile. I aim to show that art and beauty exist in even the most overlooked details of life, sometimes hidden in plain sight #littlesketcheseverywhere.""

Swapna Mathew is a Canadian artist currently based in Toronto. Her practice reflects a deep interest in noticing the unnoticed and finding quiet poetry in everyday life. This series - created using mixed media and acrylic - invites viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of routine encounters and the curveballs life throws our way. Through layered abstraction and subtle textures, her paintings ask us to slow down, look again, and find meaning in the margins.
""My work is rooted in the act of looking closely at details, at absences, at what's usually overlooked. Painting becomes a way to pause, witness, and honour the unseen.""

The pages reveal haunting tales of tragedy, loss, and despair as well as powerful examples of courage, perseverance, and resilience. They chronicle the lives of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. Crowdsourced from the fragments of memories of hundreds of Chinese Canadian families across Canada, as well as extensive research, many stories and images are being shared publicly for the very first time.
Q and A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
Ticket registration for this event is required: Free tickets for this event are available to book via Eventbrite.

595 Explorum Science Workshop - Bath Bombs **FULL** 2025-08-06 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Burrows Hall None We are going to dive into the sparkling world of bath bombs, a magical experience that unveils the mysteries of the most common chemical reactions! By making our own bath bombs, we will discover how acid-base neutralization creates salt and water, releasing bubbles of gas in the process. Observing this effervescent reaction, we learn that acids contain H+ ions and bases contain OH- ions. We will create our own bath bomb to take home. This workshop promises to be an educational and memorable experience for our future budding scientists!

646 Revitalizing Biodiversity in a Toronto Ravine on Public and Private Land 2025-08-06 7:00 PM 8:00 PM Wychwood Program Room What is a ravine? The Nordheimer Ravine is an exemplary and unique Toronto ravine. All city ravines are designated as storm water basins. This water prevented the growing of grass and so it was designative to be 'naturalized' with three wetlands. Over 20 years, community and city Forestry staff and the TRCA worked to revive and reinvent nature in the ravine. Susan Aaron, team leader on the volunteer team, presents the research on the site to provide better understanding of ravines.

1034 Kaléidoscope : atelier avec Explorum 2025-08-12 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Barbara Frum None Quest-ce quun kaléidoscope ? Une illusion doptique ? De la magie ? De lart ? En fait cest un peu de tout ça. Cest 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.
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.

1124 Wednesday Afternoon @ the Movies: The boy in the woods 2025-08-13 1:00 PM 3:00 PM Weston Community Room The Boy in the Woods tells the remarkable true story of Max, a Jewish boy escaping Nazi persecution in Eastern Europe. After he is separated from his family, Max finds refuge with Christian peasant Jasko, who hides him in plain sight until a tense stand-off with Nazi police. Afraid for his own family's life, Jasko sends Max to live in the woods where he learns to survive alone. With echoes of a Grimms' Fairy Tale, Max's experience is both terrifying and magical. He inhabits a landscape crawling with Nazis, partisans and haunted by ghosts. Based on the best-selling memoir by Canadian Holocaust survivor Maxwell Smart and inspired by the award-winning documentary Cheating Hitler: Surviving The Holocaust.

1291 CEO of Customer Service: A Fireside Chat with Farbsy 2025-08-14 6:00 PM 7:00 PM All Branches None Ever wanted to say what every customer service worker really thinks, but can't? Farbsy can and does!
Join us for an enlightening fireside chat with Farbsy (Max Farber), a Toronto-based content creator behind the viral short-form sketches that turn customer service nightmares into comedy gold. With millions of views and a ever-growing online following, Farbsy shares some of the behind-the-scenes of his hilarious videos roasting entitled customers and awkward Zoom calls (among other riveting topics).
In this engaging conversation, we'll also explore Farbsy's entrepreneurial journey: how he built a thriving creative brand from the ground up, carved out his niche, and turned everyday frustrations into a business with real impact. From content creation, to audience growth, to the hustle behind the humour, this session hopes to offer insightful lessons for aspiring creators, solopreneurs, and anyone curious about the business behind the skits.
This program is part of the Newcomer Entrepreneurship Initiative and our continued efforts to champion inclusive entrepreneurship in Toronto, by finding more ways to uplift and support the journeys of diverse entrepreneurial communities such as newcomer entrepreneurs, Black entrepreneurs, and women entrepreneurs. We strive to accomplish this through storytelling, shared experiences, and open conversations that reflect the diversity of Toronto's small business community.

1518 Dystopia Nonfiction Book Club: Davos Man 2025-08-18 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Toronto Reference Library Discussion Room "Join us each month to discuss nonfiction literature that explores how powerful forces in society are negatively shaping our world and dystopian imaginings are becoming present-day realities.
August's book is Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World.
In Davos Man, global economics correspondent Peter S. Goodman argues that the ""relentless plunder"" perpetrated by the global billionaire class is ""the decisive force behind the rise of right-wing populist movements around the world, leading to widening economic inequality, intense public anger, and dire threats to democracy. The author closely examines five individuals: private equity magnate Stephen Schwarzman; JPMorgan Chase executive Jamie Dimon; asset manager Larry Fink; Amazon's Jeff Bezos; and Salesforce founder and CEO Marc Benioff
At the same time that these men broadcast their concern for social justice, they enrich themselves by manipulating economies, lobbying politicians, eviscerating regulations, weakening government oversight, and extracting huge tax benefits."" -Kirkus Reviews

At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and a hippo are best friends and stars of the show.

When their vessel is hijacked, however, the friends, who have all been raised in captivity, learn first-hand what life can be like in the wild.

2550 The Stand 2025-09-08 6:00 PM 7:45 PM Palmerston None From the Nation Film Board of Canada, we present a screening of Chris Auchter's documentary, The Stand.
Description:
In the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island-and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, sovereignty and environmental justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, courage and quiet humanity of that moment. Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the Elders, activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the Haida Nation-and for all of Canada.

2708 Dystopia Nonfiction Book Club: China Unbound 2025-09-15 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Toronto Reference Library Discussion Room "Join us each month to discuss nonfiction literature that explores how powerful forces in society are negatively shaping our world and dystopian imaginings are becoming present-day realities.
September's book is China Unbound: A New World Disorder
As the world's second-largest economy, China is extending its influence across the globe with the complicity of western nations willing to compromise on democratic values in exchange for financial bailouts and economic growth. Toronto Star journalist Joanna Chiu spent seven years as foreign correspondent in China and Hong Kong tracking China's propulsive rise, from the political aspects of the multi-billion-dollar ""New Silk Road"" global investment project to a growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions through ""United Front"" efforts. In this nuanced work critical of simplistic scapegoating, Chiu offers readers background on the protests in Hong Kong, underground churches in Beijing, and exile Uyghur communities in Turkey, and exposes Beijing's high-tech surveillance and aggressive measures that result in human rights violations against those who challenge its power-including the intimidation and harassment of the Chinese diaspora abroad in countries like Canada. The new world disorder documented in China Unbound lays out the disturbing implications for global stability, prosperity, and civil rights everywhere.

2803 Lauren Soloy: Drawing from my pocket - making connections and making books 2025-09-18 6:30 PM 7:30 PM Lillian H. Smith None "Join the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books for our 18th Annual Sybille Pantazzi Memorial Lecture: Drawing from my pocket - making connections and making books by Lauren Soloy.
Acclaimed picture books author and illustrator, Lauren Soloy would like to welcome you to ""The Pocket,"" her fictional world. ""Pocket"" is such a versatile and delightful word. It can refer to a secret pouch, any small piece of a larger thing, or a precious lull in a busy life. And a pocket can hold so many things - a rock or a feather, a moment or an idea. It can even hold your hand.

2858 Dessins néoclassiques et romantiques en Europe (1780-1830)) 2025-09-20 2:00 PM 3:30 PM All Branches None "Au XVIIIe siècle, le mot « dessin » sécrit « dessein » comme si lactivité de représenter signifiait avant tout incarner une idée, tracer les contours d'un projet. Des premiers croquis au tableau définitif nous verrons ainsi comment Jacques-Louis David, passionné par lAntiquité, mis en forme les idéaux de la Révolution Française. Chez Eugène Delacroix et ses amis, le dessin se fait plus libre et la pratique de laquarelle, venue dAngleterre, permet une expression plus directe des sentiments et des passions.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l'art et elle fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.
En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.

2940 CONCERT: Italy in Edinburgh 2025-09-24 6:30 PM 7:30 PM North York Central Library Room 101 During this concert, performed by Julia Seager-Scott (harp) and Alison Melville (recorders, flutes), music by Italian, Scottish and Irish composers will be performed on harp, wooden flutes and recorders.
If you'd been a music lover in Edinburgh in the early 1700s, you'd have heard traditional Scottish melodies, foreign compositions, and music that blended both these styles in fascinating ways. 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.
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.
This program is part of the Ontario Culture Days.
Free tickets will be handed at 6PM in Room 101 on the day of the event. No advance registration required. All ages welcome.
For more information, please call the Languages, Literature and Fine Arts Department at 416-395-5639.

This month we will be discussing Five Little Indians by Michelle Good.
Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention. Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn't want them. With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward.
Pick up a physical copy at the branch before the meeting, or find copies through our website in various formats. Registration is required and begins Sept. 2, 2025.

3060 Adult Afternoon Movie: Thelma (2024) 2025-09-30 2:00 PM 4:00 PM Riverdale Adult Program Room Join us every first and last Tuesday of each month for a free afternoon movie. Drop-in.
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.

3161 Dystopia Nonfiction Book Club: Autocracy, Inc. 2025-10-06 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Toronto Reference Library Discussion Room "Join us each month to discuss nonfiction literature that explores how powerful forces in society are negatively shaping our world and dystopian imaginings are becoming present-day realities.
October's book is Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World by Pulitzer Prize winning historian and journalist Anne Applebaum.
In this timely guide to the rise of 21st century authoritarianism, Applebaum argues that present-day autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.
International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don't stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren't linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan's essay calling for ""containment"" of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat.

3351 Manet, Degas, Renoir, Monet : la revendication d'une liberté nouvelle 2025-10-18 2:00 PM 3:30 PM All Branches None "La pratique du « plein-air », qui se généralise avec les Impressionnistes, modifie lart du dessin : le trait est plus rapide, la couleur plus vive, lexpression du réel plus directe, la transposition des sensations plus immédiate. De lopéra au café-concert, Degas saisit le monde du spectacle en des pastels vibrants tandis que Renoir exprime par la couleur la plénitude des formes. Si les grands tableaux sont encore peints en atelier, ils sont le fruit dune multitude détudes préparatoires, prises sur le vif, en un cheminement didées passionnant à reconstituer.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de lart et elle fait partie fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.
En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.

3632 Dystopia Nonfiction Book Club: The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau 2025-11-10 2:00 PM 3:00 PM Toronto Reference Library Discussion Room "Join us each month to discuss nonfiction literature that explores how powerful forces in society are negatively shaping our world and dystopian imaginings are becoming present-day realities.
November's book is The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau
""In this first comprehensive history of the Justin Trudeau government, veteran journalist Stephen Maher takes readers behind the scenes of a tumultuous decade of Canadian politics. Through hundreds of interviews with political insiders, he describes how Trudeau-a Canadian prince-had the famous name, the political instincts, the work ethic, and the confidence to overcome errors in judgment and build a global brand, winning in the boxing ring and on the debate stage. And then things changed as key people left the Trudeau team and the government lost direction... errors in judgment and personality conflicts wasted political capital. Trudeau has struggled to manage his own office, with devastating consequences, and alienated people outside his coalition, to the point where he can't hold a public event without protesters screaming curses at him."" By the end of his time as Prime Minister, according to Maher, many voters ""had come to see Trudeau as a pious scold, an anti-racist who had often worn blackface, a climate change warrior who was forever flying around in a private plane, a feminist who gaslit, demoted and exiled Jody Wilson-Raybould when she rightly objected to the PMO interfering in the administration of justice"" by sidelining ""the prosecution of corrupt engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.""
In addition, we will be discussing Chaper Six (""Justice"") of ""Indian"" in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power by Jody Wilson-Raybould, which gives her perspective on the Trudeau government and the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

3650 Linwood Barclay & Joe Hill: Objects of Terror 2025-11-11 7:00 PM 8:00 PM Toronto Reference Library Bram & Bluma Appel Salon "Join bestselling authors Linwood Barclay and Joe Hill for a spine-tingling literary evening as two masters of suspense come together to discuss their latest works, in conversation with host Naben Ruthnum.
Linwood Barclay takes a departure from his thriller writing into the realm of supernatural horror with Whistle, a terrifying tale of new beginnings that become dark realities when a child discovers a mysterious toy train. Joe Hill will share his new book King Sorrow, a chilling Faustian fable that explores the dangerous consequences of revenge and supernatural forces unleashed in our modern world, blending academic intrigue with bone-chilling horror.
Barclay and Hill will speak about the craft of writing believable modern horror in contemporary settings.
Question and answer session and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.

3698 De Gauguin à Bonnard : le « droit de tout oser » 2025-11-15 2:00 PM 3:30 PM All Branches None "La diffusion du Japonisme en France, grâce aux Expositions Universelles de Paris (1867 et 1878), fait découvrir aux artistes un art basé sur les aplats de couleurs, un espace à la perspective contractée, et des motifs traités en délégantes lignes serpentines. Gauguin à Pont-Aven, suivi par Bonnard et ses amis à Paris, transposent alors danodines scènes de la vie quotidienne en des compositions au radical parti pris esthétique. Léloquence des couleurs et des graphismes leur importent désormais plus que la seule description de la réalité vue.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l'art et elle fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.
En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.
