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.<br /><br />"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."<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.

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.

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.<br /><br />"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."<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.

My work reflects the subtle charm of everyday scenes from my life in Toronto, influenced by my Indo-Canadian roots.

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.

L'endroit où on veut placer notre carillon dictera sa taille, sa fonction et sa forme.

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.

Kids and parents will read a pre-selected book together, and then join us on the 1st Tuesday of each month at the library to chat about the book. Our book for July is FANTASTIC MR. FOX by Roald Dahl. Mr. Fox steals food from the horrible farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean—one fat, one short, one lean. These three crooks concoct a plan to dig Mr. Fox out of his home, but they don’t realize how truly fantastic Mr. Fox is, or how far he’ll go to save his family. An exciting and uproarious tale from one of the world’s great storytellers.<br /><br />Copies of the selected book of the month are available for pickup at the front desk.

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. Our mission is to break down barriers, foster open dialogues about race, and collectively embark on a journey of learning, growth, confronting discomfort, and dismantling racism within Canada."<br /><br />Registration is encouraged.

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 2025-07-215:30 PM7:30 PMFairviewNoneThis program will explore the fundamentals of 3D Design using a browser-based program, while completing a project.

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 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.

It is a sound generation system, synthesizer, beat/bassline editor and MIDI control system that can power a small home music studio. Sounds, tones and rhythms can be generated, played, and artfully arranged to create entire tracks. Tracks can then be layered to create songs, which can later be saved to an output format.<br /><br />This percussion workshop is divided into two separate sections:<br /><br />* Odd-time beatmaking<br />* Sampling basics using Linux MultiMedia Studio + Audacity<br /><br />An odd, irregular or unequal subdivision of a beat can be difficult to play but do have patterns that are discernable for the performer. The most common irregular metres mix simple time (whose basic note division is in groups of two), and compound time (threes) together within a single measure. Odd-time polyrhythms commonly appear in Latin, West African and other musical genres.<br /><br />A sample is the use of a portion of an existing song, recontextualized for a substantially new recording such as a drumbeat. The point is to make a new original track using a sample from a previous song. Sampling has its historical roots in tape-looping, turntablism (DJing) and drum machines, and can be heard in avant-garde, Hip Hop and other genres.<br /><br />Registration is required for this class and begins July 14, 2025 at 12:30pm.<br /><br />Note: Your spot will not be guaranteed after 5 minutes of the start of the program. Class is held in the 2nd floor E-Learning Lab.<br /><br />***If you identify as a person with a disability or a person who is Deaf, and require this information in an accessible format, or an accessibility accommodation to participate in this program, use the online form at tpl.ca/accessibility to make a request.

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.

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?

Les enfants approfondiront leur compréhension de la communauté en Afrique centrale, feront l’expérience de la danse et du tambour traditionnels et écouteront une histoire traditionnelle.<br />Ce programme montre aux enfants la vraie façon dont la musique traditionnelle est jouée au Cameroun; les percussions ne sont pas simplement des tambours, elles incluent une variété d’instruments. Les enfants apprendront que cette musique traditionnelle est composée de différentes parties qui doivent être jouées ensemble. Chaque personne doit apprendre à respecter les autres parties et à trouver sa propre place dans la musique – car c’est ce qui rend la musique propre et douce. <br />Njacko Backo est un percussionniste, chanteur, conteur, chorégraphe, auteur-compositeur / compositeur qui joue pour les enfants et les adultes depuis son enfance au Cameroun. Il a une vie de pratique à capturer la subtilité de la danse et de la narration avec sa musique - une partie essentielle des arts du spectacle africains. Ses programmes pour enfants et adolescents s'inspirent des parallèles et des différences entre la vie de famille canadienne et africaine et atténuent sa passion pour la langue française.<br /><br />In this interactive performance, children will learn about the important role that music, dance and storytelling play in daily life in Cameroon, Central Africa. Children will deepen their understanding of community in Central Africa, experience traditional dancing and drumming, and listen to a traditional story.<br />This program shows children the real way traditional music is played in Cameroon; percussion is not just drums, it includes a variety of instruments. Children will learn that this traditional music is made up of different parts that must be played together. Each person must learn to respect other parts and find their own place in the music – because that is what makes music clean and sweet.<br />Njacko Backo is a percussionist, singer, storyteller, choreographer, songwriter / composer who has been playing for children and adults since his childhood in Cameroon. He has a lifetime of practice capturing the subtlety of dance and storytelling with his music – an essential part of African performing arts. Her programs for children and teens draw on the parallels and differences between Canadian and African family life and temper her passion for the French language. <br /><br />This is a featured French language Summer Wonder program.

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.

This presentation goes into various aspects of the jail's history, but the emphasis is rather on the people involved-including subjects like governors throughout the whole period, several mayors, the murder of George Brown, inmates, a love story in the shadow of the gallows, and the Polka Dot Gang. <br />Register in person or by phone, 416-395-5950.

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.<br /><br />Drop-in.<br /><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.

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.<br /><br />Pick up a physical copy at the branch before the meeting, or find copies through our website in various formats.

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.
