If you live within the city of Toronto, you can get a Toronto Public Library card.  With your library card, it’s obvious that you can borrow books, e-books, cd’s, dvd’s, etc for free!  

But there is so much more than books the library provides.  There is always something happening at TPL branches within the GTA whether it be author talks, lectures, children's activities, workshops, book clubs, art exhibits, movie night, crafts and games. 

Did you know, once a week at every TPL branch a limited number of Sun Life Financial Museum and Art Passes (also known as MAP), which offer free admission to one of several Toronto attractions become available. With your library card, you can get one of the passes and will be able to explore over one of a dozen museums and historic sites in the city. There are limited passes to the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Metro Zoo, Ontario Science Centre, Casa Loma, Black Creek Pioneer. MAP can offer a great opportunity for those on a tight budget to experience more of Toronto for FREE!  There are some restrictions, visit your local TPL or website for full details.

I had the opportunity to see the Ai -Wei Wei exhibit at the Art Gallery for free with my friends.  The exhibit was amazingly  powerful and I look forward to future MAP passes to explore other free Toronto attractions. 

If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, or study, all the TPL branches have computers for use and offer free wireless internet access. Bring your laptop and find a comfee seat or just catch up on some Zzzz’s.   

Go get your card and take advantage of all that the TPL has to offer.
