Sandra Aldcroft
Manager, Stewardship
TPL’s value is unmatched. Libraries educate, innovate, connect people and are vital to our city. As a child, my branch was a well-used resource where I could explore and gain knowledge. Libraries breathe life into our communities, making them stronger, healthier, and more resilient. -
Carmen Chow
Donor Relations & Database Officer
I love that the Library is welcoming and accessible to everyone. It provides not only books and computers but also so many programs and services to help build and lift up Toronto and its communities. -

Emily Connell
Director, Donor Experience
As a mother of two, it’s important to me how the library helps level the playing field for kids. The greatest lesson I can teach my children is to be compassionate and kind to others, and this is exactly what the library does. -
Martha Darby
Senior Manager, Marketing & Communications
Storytelling is important in my life. It helps frame my experience in the world and understand others. Libraries hold our stories – not just within books, but between exchanged ideas and interactions. What I love most about TPL is it’s a place where everyone’s story can unfold -

Moira Dossetor, PhD
Vice President, Philanthropy
Everybody is welcome. That’s what I love most about TPL. You can find anything you might need: a refuge from the heat, help reading or writing, coaching on career goals, financial counselling, a quiet study space, even a musical instrument to try – it’s all there waiting for you. -
Liza Fernandes
Vice President, Operations & Governance
I love the Library because it’s accessible to everyone, meeting one’s needs at every stage of life. No two people use the Library the same way, but it’s essential in each of our lives. The Library was the first place I felt at home when I immigrated to Canada. -
Helen Gaan
Director, Individual Giving [On Leave]
Libraries are the beating hearts of communities. I love that everyone is welcome and that each branch is as unique as the community it serves. I’m so grateful to the Library for providing space for everyone to learn, grow and explore – or just simply be who they are. -

Libraries are for everyone. Everything about them—from programs and services to collections and the design of the space—is created with community in mind. No two libraries are the same, each offering something new to discover with each visit. -
Faith Saar
Coordinator, Campaigns
I love TPL because it is a reliable third space; somewhere outside of home, work or school where there is no cost to take up space. People of all ages are welcomed to find the time, tools and support to explore what matters to them. -
