Toronto Public Library Foundation

Support Toronto Public Library Foundation fundraisers as they take on the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon during Canadian Library Month!

Funds raised will help Toronto Public Library (TPL) meet its highest priority needs — expanding access to technology and training, supporting inclusive and flexible community spaces, and ensuring equitable access to information for Toronto’s most vulnerable residents.

Not all residents in our city have equal access to economic, educational, health, cultural, and social opportunities that are critical to succeed in Toronto. Access to these resources and opportunities often depend on where you live, how much you earn, and who you are, which creates dramatic divides in our city and a success gap that impacts us all.

TPL is committed to leveling the playing field for all Torontonians, focusing on vulnerable populations of all ages, including newcomers, Indigenous peoples, racialized and LGBTQ+ communities, and low-income residents.

81% of Torontonians know and rely on TPL. No other public institution has the reach, infrastructure, and trusted community presence to empower Torontonians in every neighbourhood.

Together, we can build a more connected, resilient, and equitable Toronto for all.
