Pulitzer-winning journalist Barbara Tuchman once said, “Nothing sickens me more than the closed door of a library.” Today, Torontonians can pour one out for the legendary writer, because the Toronto Public Library just announced that it will be keeping its doors open longer while adding much-needed new programming.

Currently, only 29 of the TPL’s 100 branches are open on Sundays. Starting October 19, every location will offer Sunday service from noon to 5 p.m.
It goes without saying that Toronto’s public library system—the biggest and busiest in the world—is more than just a place to borrow books. It’s a vital seam in a city’s social fabric, providing education, community connection, civic engagement and shelter. Case in point: roughly 81 per cent of Torontonians access the network at least once a year.
