As a designer, a mother, and the founder of a children's art education studio, Nola draws inspiration from the details of everyday life combined with elements of time and space, exploring and expressing them through various cultural perspectives. With a Bachelor of Visual Arts, and Master of Design Management, she explores themes of personal identity blending traditional painting techniques with mixed elements.<br /><br />"In my work, I explore the subtle interplay between the details of nature and human experience. Inspired by historical themes and the rich diversity of life, my series of paintings and mixed media pieces reflect a deep appreciation for ancient cultural and natural elements, as well as an exploration of the complexities of human emotions. Using ink, watercolor, and embroidery, I depict tranquil and contemplative settings that embody the narratives of individual growth and nurturing, resonating with the pure sentiments of poets and scholars. Just as ancient caretakers cultivated fine seeds with patience and understanding, I am to illustrate the journey of guiding young souls toward self-discovery. I invite viewers to reflect on their own paths, recognizing the beauty found between moments of joy and challenge."<br /><br />This exhibit is part of TPL's <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/programs-and-classes/exhibits/art-exhibit-space.jsp">Art Exhibit Space</a> program.

She is interested in themes of migration, site-specic work,and urbanism."<br />The project steps through the phases of the diaspora experience, or rather Âwhat you donÂt get around to saying when they ask you how it is in CanadaÂ. First, you see that tiny things become symbolic. You probably keep something theoretically ordinary in a visible place - a pebble from the sea, a ower, the boarding pass. Later, you want to do something with your own hands, to know details, variations on a theme. You dedicate yourself a book, take a picture of a place where all of them once stood, buy your own food in those same colourful bags from the magical suitcases of grandmas and grandpas.<br /><br />This exhibit is part of TPL's <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/programs-and-classes/exhibits/art-exhibit-space.jsp">Art Exhibit Space</a> program.

Imani Perry: Black in Blues2025-05-207:00 PM8:00 PMToronto Reference LibraryBram & Bluma Appel SalonAward winning author Imani Perry to discuss her new book Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People at the Toronto Reference Library's Appel Salon.<br /><br />In Black in Blues, Perry reveals how a single colour weaves through the tapestry of Black history; From the rich indigo-stained fabrics of West Africa, to the vast azure skies and seas that whispered freedom during the Middle Passage, to the birth of the Blues - a genre born from both struggle and joy that became the soul-stirring voice of a people. In this profound meditation, Perry masterfully bridges the paradox of Blue, the world's most beloved colour, with the profound depths of Black history and culture, illuminating their unexpectedly intimate and powerful connection across time.

Short Friday Classics: Toni Morrison's Sula2025-05-2312:00 PM1:00 PMAll BranchesNoneJoin Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and author Hilton Als in conversation with acclaimed poet & novelist Canisia Lubrin, hosted by writer and critic Michael LaPointe, as they explore Toni Morrison's powerful novel, Sula. Their discussion will examine how this 1973 work established Morrison's uncompromising literary vision-her profound exploration of Black female friendship, community dynamics, and moral complexity. Als, known for his penetrating cultural criticism, will discuss Morrison's radical narrative choices, while Lubrin brings her lyrical sensibility to Morrison's unique prose and examination of communal identity. Together, they'll unpack how Morrison's audacious portrayal of female autonomy and complex moral vision continues to resonate fifty years after publication.<br /><br />Set in the fictional Black community of Medallion, Ohio, Sula chronicles the intense friendship between two girls-the conforming Nel and the rebellious Sula-from the 1920s through the 1940s. What begins as childhood intimacy fractures as they grow into womanhood, with Sula rejecting social conventions while Nel embraces them. Morrison's novel stands as a profound meditation on the nature of good and evil, exploring how community judgment shapes identity and how nonconformity can function as both destruction and liberation. Through its unflinching portrayal of female desire, friendship, and betrayal, Sula established Morrison as a singular voice in American literature, her rich symbolic landscape serving as both powerful storytelling and incisive social commentary.<br /><br />Participants are encouraged to read the book in advance of the session.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.hiltonals.com/">About Hilton Als</a><br /><a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/canisia-lubrin">About Canisia Lubrin</a><br /><a href="https://www.michaellapointe.com/biography.html">About Michael LaPointe</a><br /><a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDM135599&R=135599">Read Sula at TPL</a><br /><br />***<br /><br />Important information for accessing this live virtual event:<br /><br />You must register for a free ticket via Eventbrite to gain access to this event.<br /><br />This event will be presented in a Zoom Webinar.

The Jewish Community of Old Toronto2025-05-282:00 PM3:00 PMBarbara FrumNoneThe Jewish community of Toronto, numbering close to 200,000 in the greater metropolitan area, is the largest in Canada and now one of the largest in North America. This presentation illustrates the early Jewish community of Toronto from the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, a time period that saw the rise of two distinct and colourful Jewish neighbourhoods, the Ward and Spadina Avenue, and culminated with the community's geographic shift northward to "mid-town" along the Bathurst Street corridor. <br /><br />Speaker: Bill Gladstone is a professional genealogist, writer and publisher who has published many books about the Toronto Jewish community. As a journalist, he was a frequent contributor to the Globe and Mail and was a writer and columnist for the Canadian Jewish News for 35 years. <br /><br /><b>Please register on Eventbrite by clicking the link below, or by calling the branch at (416)-395-5440.</b><br /><br />This event is part of TPL's <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/programs-and-classes/featured/jewish-heritage.jsp">Jewish Heritage</a> series.<br /><br />**<br /><br />Toronto Public Library is committed to accessibility.

Coding with Python V2025-05-296:00 PM8:00 PMAll BranchesNonePython is an open source programming language that is used for creating web applications, web content, mathematics and system scripting. In this follow up course we will take a break from the logical side of back-end development and get our feet wet with a little bit of front-end coding; we'll make a user interface! Using tkinter, a popular module for creating user-facing layouts, we will design and implement a simple but effective UI for our Python code. This will allow us to run our programs using another platform other than Terminal.<br />This class is for beginners but assumes you have a basic understanding of Python or have attended Python Basics I, II, III, and IV.<br />Prior to the class, participants will need to download and install Python and VS Code onto their personal computers (installation guides provided after registration).<br />Registration is limited and specific instructions including information about software installation will be provided.<br />For more information about this program please contact dihonline@tpl.ca.<br /><br />Toronto Public Library is committed to accessibility.

Writers Collective of Canada (WCC): Community Writing Workshop2025-05-306:00 PM8:00 PMNorth York Central LibraryRoom 2/3When we write with others, we discover ourselves. WCC workshops offer a brave creative space where all are welcomed to write and explore their story in a space free of critique. The workshops are led by trained volunteer facilitators who also act as participants. The group writes in response to prompts, is invited to share their first draft writing and offer affirming feedback to one another. While the focus is on the process of writing rather than a finished product - the stories that emerge in WCC workshops are magnificent. In sharing and listening to one another's stories participants find connection with self and others.<br /><br />No experience required. Beginners are welcome. Materials are provided. <br /><br />Space is limited. Register in branch or by calling 416-395-5639.<br /><br />If you identify as a person with a disability or as a person who is Deaf, and require 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.

Artist Circle: Chinyi C2025-05-312:00 PM3:00 PMToronto Reference LibraryDiscussion RoomJoin us for an afternoon of pastel drawing with acoustic sounds from local indie folk singer-songwriter Chinyi C. Born in Singapore and now based in Toronto, Chinyi's music explores the emotional complexities of identity, belonging, transition, and growth. This workshop is an invitation for all creatives of any skill set to visualize memory through musical inspiration. <br /><br />Registration is required through <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/artist-circle-chinyi-c-drawing-out-memory-tickets-1313798268989?aff=oddtdtcreator">Eventbrite.</a> <br /><br />Supplies will be provided and drawings are self-guided for your own collection.<br /><br /><b>Brief Bio</b> <br />Born in Singapore and now based in Toronto, Chinyi navigates the complexities of the Southeast Asian diaspora and her Singaporean-Chinese, Cantonese-Hokkien roots through her music. Her songs blend the struggle of identity with the longing for community and belonging. Combining pure vocals with introspective songwriting, her songs evoke whispered conversations in the time between dusk and dawn, memories of childhood homes, and half-spoken dreams, centering on the search for human connection. Chinyi's latest single, Human (2024), showcases her artistry through introspective storytelling and layered chamber-pop instrumentation, a reminder that we are shaped by the people we meet and the communities around us.<br /><br /><h2>Read More:</h2><br />About <a href="https://chinyiofficial.com/">Chinyi C</a><br />Watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USPNMNiJ5YU">Human (2024)</a><br /><br />This program is part of TPL's <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/programs-and-classes/featured/asian-heritage.jsp">Asian Heritage</a> series.<br /><br />**<br /><br />If you identify as a person with a disability or as a person who is Deaf and requires 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.

Places You Can Go With A Kinesiology Degree2025-06-064:00 PM5:00 PMKennedy/EglintonNoneTraditionally when we think of kinesiology, sports, professional athletes and health & fitness come to mind; however, the concepts and careers in kinesiology go beyond this. A kinesiology degree can look like learning about the mechanics of your body in movement, and the impact of movement on your physical, mental and social health. A kinesiology career can look like applying concepts of kinesiology in traditional direct ways (i.e. becoming a physiotherapist or sport psychologist) or non-traditional ways (i.e. becoming a sport data analyst or student advisor). Participants will learn about the different pathways they can have to build a career in kinesiology that is rooted in knowing their strengths.<br /><br />Tharsheka Natkunam has a background in youth work with a strong focus in youth sports and youth employment. Tharsheka has completed her education in Kinesiology, with a Master of Science specialized in Exercise Psychology from York University, Master of Human Kinetics specialized in Sports Psychology from the University of Ottawa, and a Bachelor of Science from York University. Tharsheka uses the power of sport to fuel her passion for positive youth development by using movement-based programming to support youth in recognizing their strengths to find meaningful opportunities within and beyond sport and academia.<br /><br />This program is funded by a generous donation from the Barca Foundation.<br /><br />This is an in-person program. <br /><br />If you identify as a person with a disability or as a person who is Deaf, and require 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.

Incarner l'imaginaire ; lorsque le peintre s'inspire dÂoeuvres littéraires.2025-06-072:00 PM3:30 PMAll BranchesNoneContre toute attente, le développement de la peinture de « plein air », n'eut pas pour conséquences, chez les peintres Impressionnistes, la fin des sujets d'histoire, mythologiques, et surtout littéraires ; Edgar Degas et Auguste Renoir s'inspirent autant des textes anciens que des frères Goncourt, tandis que Manet se fait l'écho des romans contemporains d'Ãmile Zola. Avec les Symbolistes, les liens sont plus étroits encore, en témoignent les très nombreux portraits d'écrivains, de Stéphane Mallarmé à Georges Rodenbach. Gustave Moreau et Odilon Redon mettent quant à eux en images les récits de William Shakespeare, de Gustave Flaubert ou d'Edgar Poe. Parfois les liens sont inattendus ; ainsi des scènes tahitiennes de Gauguin reprenant les titres des poèmes de Paul Verlaine ou des tableaux d'Henri Matisse inspirées de ceux de Charles Baudelaire. Tout un univers à redécouvrir !<br /><br />La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l'art et elle fait partie d'un deuxième cycle intitulé Peinture et littérature : dialogues croisés.<br /><br />En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.<br /><br />Crédit photo : Margot Richard.<br /> <br /><br />****<br /><br />Ce programme se déroule en ligne sur Zoom.

A Case of the Cozies2025-06-117:00 PM8:00 PMNorth York Central LibraryConcourse Event SpaceAcclaimed authors Uzma Jalaluddin, Bianca Marais and Elizabeth Renzetti share their immersive new novels and unpack what makes crime "cozy."<br /><br />From the charming amateur sleuths working to crack a stubborn case to the whimsical settings and twisting plots that keep us guessing "whodunnit?" until the very end, cozy mysteries blend high-stakes stories with a feeling of warm comfort that has kept readers hooked since Miss Marple first warned, "I always find it prudent to suspect everybody just a little."<br /><br />Join three contemporary writers as they introduce us to a new generation of amateur detectives and page-turning mysteries: A meddlesome widow who presses her keen sense of observation into service to clear her daughter's name of murder. A reclusive enigmatologist who must untangle a snarled mess of secrets and codes to prevent certain death. And a big-city journalist who is pulled into investigating yet another celebrity death at a major wellness summit.<br /><br />Uzma Jalaluddin, Bianca Marais and Elizabeth Renzetti speak about their new cozy mystery novels and the enduring allure - and surprising comfort - of the crime read.<br /><br />Q&A and book signing to follow.

Dystopia Nonfiction Book Club: Supremacy2025-06-162:00 PM3:00 PMToronto Reference LibraryDiscussion RoomJoin us each month to discuss nonfiction literature that explores how powerful forces in society are negatively shaping our world and how dystopian imaginings are becoming present-day realities.<br /><br />June's book is <a href="https://bit.ly/43rrN3d">Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the race that will change the world</a> by technology journalist Parmy Olson.<br /><br />Supremacy recounts the astonishing story of the battle between two AI firms, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the hazardous direction they could go as they serve two tech Goliaths whose power is unprecedented in history. The story focuses on the continuing rivalry of two key CEOs at the center of it all, who cultivated a religion around their mission to build god-like super intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind.<br /><br />Supremacy sharply alerts readers to the real threat of artificial intelligence that its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media and more. Olson brings to light the exploitation of the greatest invention in human history, and how it will impact us all.<br /><br />Drop in.

Roza Nozari, All the Parts We Exile2025-06-177:00 PM8:00 PMToronto Reference LibraryBeeton HallRoza Nozari (she/her) is a queer, Muslim, Iranian-Canadian writer, artist, and therapist based in Tkaronto. She joins us to launch her recently released memoir, <a href="https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDM4619647&R=4619647">All the Parts We Exile</a>. The book traces her journey toward radical self-acceptance and of being exiled from her ancestral home. A heartfelt and insightful exploration of the author's coming-of-age as the daughter of immigrants, her acceptance of her own queer sexuality and quest to understand her own world and attachments in contrast/connection with her mother's distinct experience growing up in Iran.<br /><br />Known also as YallaRoza on social media, her work weaves together writing and visual art to share stories of wounding, healing, and community. Her work invites radical re-imaginings of our world, towards one more invested in collective healing and liberation. She is the illustrator of three children's books: Little People Big Dreams' Mindy Kaling (2021), Fluffy and The Stars (2023), and The Anti-Racist Kitchen (2023). Her illustrations have been featured locally and internationally — from university campuses to sports arenas and pride festivals.<br /><br />In conversation with queer writer, activist and psychotherapist, <a href="https://farzanadoctor.com/">Farzana Doctor</a> (she/her).<br /><br /><b>Time: Book sales and signing starts at 6:00pm.

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=Âhttps://www.torontomastergardeners.ca/Â>Toronto Master Gardeners</a> have been advising and helping solve problems for Toronto gardeners since January 1988. Toronto Master Gardeners have successfully completed university horticultural studies and must meet ongoing continuing education requirements to make sure that advice to gardeners is based on current horticultural knowledge.<br /><br />Registration is encouraged via <a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/native-plants-tickets-1363478734599?aff=ebdssbdestsearch">Eventbrite</a>.<br />Drop-ins are welcome until capacity is reached.<br /><br /><b>For more information, contact:</b><br />Toronto Reference Library - Business, Science and Technology department<br />789 Yonge Street<br />Phone: 416-393-7149<br />Email: trlbus@tpl.ca<br /><br /><b>Toronto Public Library is committed to providing accessible and inclusive programming.</b><br />If you identify as a person with a disability and require 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.

Distorted Realities: Mis/Disinformation in Movies - Lecture2025-06-196:00 PM8:30 PMToronto Reference LibraryBeeton HallCome join a conversation with film critic Adam Nayman where you will explore themes of misinformation and disinformation in films. <br /><br />In today's digitally connected world, the rapid spread of misinformation and disinformation has become a significant challenge contributing to societal polarization.

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>).

Guests will learn and get the opportunity to make a sweetgrass liquid infusion/mist.<br /><br />Lead by special guest Tanya Gluvakov, founder of Roots and Raven, a self-care brand grounded in the principles of Indigenous plant medicines, land stewardship, and knowledge sharing. Through her business, she offers educational workshops and products derived from plants such as cedar, sweetgrass, and others which hold deep cultural and medicinal significance. As a mixed-nation Mohawk woman with family ties to Six Nations, Tanya draws deep inspiration from her heritage and grandmother, Betty, who taught her the strength to overcome challenges and create meaningful change. Tanya believes the land is a profound healer, offering support during difficult times, while community and connection guide us forward in meaningful ways.<br /><br />In addition to leading workshops, Tanya is committed to advancing Indigenous medicine gardens through resurgence projects that increase accessibility for urban communities. Her work aims to foster community through shared learning experiences, inviting participants to form meaningful connections with nature and one another.

Festival Select: Over the Edge (1979, Jonathan Kaplan)2025-06-306:00 PM8:30 PMNorth York Central LibraryRoom 101Join the Society and Recreation department of the North York Central Library in Rm. 101 for monthly screenings of fiction and non-fiction films that push the boundaries of the medium. 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. A rash action by an overzealous local police officer (Harry Northup, Taxi Driver) sets in motion a face-off between the frustrated kids and their clueless parents that will lead to explosive, destructive consequences...<br /><br />Armed with a classic '70s rock soundtrack (including Cheap Trick, Ramones and Van Halen), energetic direction by Jonathan Kaplan (White Line Fever) and an intelligent script by Tim Hunter (River's Edge) and Charlie Haas (Matinee), Over The Edge still packs a righteously powerful punch today.<br /><br />Optional registration here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/festival-select-over-the-edge-1979-jonathan-kaplan-tickets-1337267626469?aff=oddtdtcreatorhttps://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT550782&R=EVT550782550782000-Culture Arts & EntertainmentNoneNoneAdultNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone2025-04-24T14:10:54Z

Another Way To Be Human2025-07-076:00 PM7:00 PMAgincourtProgram RoomAuthor Neil David Chan presents his book, A Higher Conversation: A Journey Beyond Physical Form in 20 slides. 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. Please call the branch at 416-396-8943 or come in-person to register.<br /><br />If you identify as a person with a disability or as a person who is Deaf, and require 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.

Festival Select: Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995)2025-07-286:00 PM8:30 PMNorth York Central LibraryRoom 101Join the Society and Recreation department of the North York Central Library in Rm. 101 for monthly screenings of fiction and non-fiction films that push the boundaries of the medium. 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
