One of the oldest library in system, was part of original grant from Andrew Carienge. It’s one of three libraries that was built. It has had some renovation done to it but the design the building has stood there for over 100 years. Despite the age of building, the library itself has kept up with modern Times and technology, with free WiFi and computerize check out. The staff is still helpful and knowledgable, one of my favourite branches in the area

Riverdale Public Library located right at Toronto Chinatown East has been serving the community for over 100 years! Talking about being historical! Of course the interior of the library had went through a few renovations over the years, but the façade still stayed intact. In 2006, the building itself also been classified as Heritage structure by Heritage Toronto. I like the Library and what the renovation done to it. But since it is located in the middle of Chinatown East, it has a different vibe than other libraries I been to. But it is a great local branch that serves the neighbourhood well with a lot of Chinese language books and program!
