blogs.tpl.ca blogs.tpl.ca

December 2, 2025 –Toronto Public Library (TPL) has purchased a building at 339 Queen Street East, at the corner of Queen and Parliament, to house a new district library branch to replace the current neighbourhood St. Lawrence branch located at 171 Front Street. This relocation is in response to rapid population growth and increased demand for expanded library services in this part of the city. The new branch will primarily serve the neighbourhoods of St. Lawrence, Moss Park and Corktown.

It is clear from this press release that TPL include to CLOSE the current St Lawrence Branch when this one opens. I hope they can be persuaded to continue to have a branch somewhere south of QUEEN STREET between Yonge and Parliament as this area will be very 'under-libraried'.

Agreed, the city still needs to find a way to bring another branch closer east of the South Core area/or Waterfront East area.
