[URBAN NOTE] "TPL Friends' Book Sales x 2"
blogTO let me know about a new book sale by the Toronto Public Library.
I'm not saying that the Friends of Toronto Public Library North Chapter and the Friends of Toronto Public Library South Chapter are exactly in a competition to see who can clear out the most stuff and make the most money - but it certainly has the feel of sibling rivalry.
We can all thank them though for having their clearance sales on different weeks so we don't have to choose. This is a great opportunity to buy a lot of interesting books, CDs and DVDs at some really affordable prices (half price at North York Central and all items 10 - 50 cents at Toronto Reference Library).
Did you know the Friends have raised over $2 million in support of Toronto Public Library programs? In 2015 the Friends donated $165,000 to Toronto Public Library, their largest combined donation in their 22 year history. Faithfull supporters of children's literacy the Friends allocate their donation to Leading to Reading, Elementary School Outreach, Storytime Outreach, Young Voices and Family Literacy Day.
I won't be able to make it, but perhaps you will?
