We are the Toronto Public Library Foundation.

We believe that the character and quality of a city depends on the resources available to its people. We believe that a great library is a fundamental requirement for any city to achieve its full social and economic potential. We believe that Toronto's Library is vital to the city, and vital to support.

For birthdays, weddings, holidays and other special occasions, or to honour the memory of a loved one, you can make a donation to the Toronto Public Library Foundation in the name of the person you cherish. Your gift will help enhance community spaces, collections and programs at Toronto’s Library.

Choose from a broad range of images from the Library’s Special Collections and we’ll send a beautiful card to the recipient with a message from you inside. A minimum donation of $10 required per card.
