Synopsis

This book is an in-depth review of the development of Toronto's library system, with a focus on the selection of a site for the new Reference Library and the challenges faced in its construction and funding. The book provides historical context for the growth of Toronto's library system, including the amalgamation of different supplements and new book-lists into the third volume of the catalogue of the Circulating Library. The author also discusses the impact of a fire that destroyed the entire edition of the latest volume, necessitating a reprint. The book offers insights into the challenges of library building during a period of rapid expansion and the importance of preserving and expanding library services in a growing city. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of libraries, architecture, and Toronto's cultural heritage.
