Summer Reading Goes to the Toronto Zoo!
We’re excited to announce that this year’s Summer Reading Party will be held at the Toronto Zoo!
There is a registration fee of $10 per participant. To ensure adequate supervision, a maximum ratio of 2 children per 1 adult is required. Spaces are limited, and registration must be completed in person at one of our three library branches. This event is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Library, and the Lions Club, whose donations helped make this year’s Summer Reading Program possible.
