		<description><![CDATA[When I arrived on the third floor, I was immediately drawn to the artwork which was part of a large Native People&#8217;s collection. I especially liked a stone-cut piece near the first study booth on the north wall. &#8220;Camp at Kangiak Jamarie&#8221; depicted people bundled up in parkas, a group of tents, a laundry line [...]]]></description>

All five private study booths were occupied and all available tables taken. One trio of patrons were making a day of it in the library. Camped out around a low table in the northwest corner, their writing surface [...]]]></description>

I especially liked the low spool-shaped coffee tables in this reading area, for they would make great surfaces for squat teapots if tea parties were allowed in the library.

		<description><![CDATA[In its immensity and comprehensiveness, North York Central Library (1987) was a universe unto itself. Located in the mall next to Mel Lastman Square, I was blown away by the sheer size, complexity, and scope of this branch. In fact, I felt so overwhelmed by the task of adequately describing all 168,022 square feet of [...]]]></description>

The penultimate Toronto Public Library I called on was one of its smallest: Swansea Memorial. This compact and attractive branch occupies one room on the upper floor of Swansea&#8217;s City Hall, where it has resided for fifty-one years. (Previously, it was located in Swansea Public School from 1919 to 1959). With only 1,127 square feet [...]]]></description>

To enter Jane/Dundas Library from the parking lot is to encounter the branch as a visual whole &#8212; silver, light, and open. Look down and you can see groups of teens in their study nook below. Look to the right and the entire main level comes into view. Although Jane/Dundas isn&#8217;t a huge branch, such [...]]]></description>

Finding a parking space on Bloor Street West near Royal York Road was challenging, but my luck changed for the better when I walked into Brentwood Library. By coincidence, that particular Saturday in December just happened to be Christmas Open House day! With an angel-topped tree, carols playing in the background, and cinnamon smells announcing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reporting live from the south room of Runnymede&#8217;s upper story, which doubles as a study area and art gallery. For me, this attic has the right combination of austerity and artistic flair, putting it on a par with Gerrard/Ashdale branch. A simple hearth lies a few yards in front of me under the sloping [...]]]></description>

When I found Perth/Dupont Library after some pleasantly aimless walking, I was struck by how architectually-integrated the branch seemed, as if it had been lovingly tucked into its storefront room by the surrounding community. About the size of Davenport Library, Perth/Dupont&#8217;s interior was off-white with olive trim and featured an exposed blue-purple heating duct that [...]]]></description>
