• Toronto and Regional Libraries

  The largest local library collection is in the Toronto Public Library (TPL). If you possess a TPL library card, you can check holdings and place holds on library materials by using the TPL on-line catalogue or by visiting any branch of the library. The TPL collection of African-Canadian materials is quite extensive. If you place materials on hold, they will usually arrive at your neighbourhood branch within 24 to 48 hours, if they not already on loan.

  Here are links to other regional libraries: the Ajax Public Library, the Brampton Public Library, the Caledon Public Library, the Markham Public Libraries, the Mississauga Public Library, the Newmarket Public Library, the Pickering Public Library, the Richmond Hill Public Library, and the Woodbridge Public Library.
