This is a great little library on Annette. While actual hard copies of books are in short supply (and even popular tiles have a long waiting list– Game of Thrones anyone?), they do have a good selection of travel books, local interest and children’s titles. They also have a fair number of computer stations.
The best part of the library is the customer service, followed by the access anyone can have to the library through Overdrive. The staff was very gracious to help me set up my i-pad to check out books remotely from the entire Toronto library system. They have also been kind and quick to answer questions each time I walk in.

Annette Branch is a cute little library serving The Junction Neighbourhood.
The setting here is quite comfortable. Feels more like someone house instead of a library. A lot of windows letting the natural lights. There are not a lot of seating but at least it is quite quiet with the kid/children area in a separate wing.
Washroom is located in the basement, just ask for the key at the front desk (it is hanging there!).

Another early twentieth century architectural marvel, this Carnegie-built library is very much in the twenty-first century. This community branch has excellent WiFi, and has large open spaces, with plenty of natural day light for a comfortable reading or writing atmosphere. Since the Toronto Public Library System has inter-branch book borrowing, you can order a book online, and if it isn’t already checked out, will usually be at your branch within five days. Biggest complaint though are its staggered hours of operation, and lack of Sunday hours.
One plus, especially for local folks interested in the old city of Toronto West Junction, is that the archives for the area are partially housed at this branch, along with the Junction Historical Society. After the Bloor-Gladstone branch, this is the branch I use the most.

Guys, I dunno if you know this, but you can get pretty much any book in existence from the Toronto Public Library (the TPL!). If you sign in with your library card ID online and add it to your queue and branch of choice (mine is Annette!), you’ll be notified by email when it’s available.
I queue up every book imaginable, even if it’s an Oprah book or some other such popular book that has a huge waiting list and next thing I know, I’m getting notifications left and right and marching over to my branch to pick up my books.
The best thing to borrow is cookbooks, so you can try before you buy. I’ve borrowed pretty much every veg cookbook there is and usually with those there isn’t much of a waiting list so you can continue to renew the book online without a hassle. Seriously… have you hugged your local library branch lately? Cause you should.
