		<description><![CDATA[Downsview branch was my 50th library, a large and self-contained building with an enormous main floor and smaller basement level, similar in set up to Don Mills Library. As I entered Downsview library, my head tilted back in appreciation of the wealth of light and space above the shelves. I felt like I was in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days after the Mount Pleasant library visit, I walked from the Eaton Centre to Ossington and Bloor, taking in three libraries along the way. The first library I visited that day was Urban Affairs inside Metro City Hall. A blue and green banner alerted me to its presence, so I walked up a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Stewart and I paid a visit to the Mount Pleasant branch after an afternoon in Leaside munching Montreal bagels and sampling ice-cream from Hollywood Gelato. This library branch is tucked between a row of shops on Mount Pleasant Street (of all streets!). It&#8217;s a small venue, rectangle in shape, with cream-colored [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my way to see a friend&#8217;s exhibit at Gallery 1313, Queen Street West, a blue and white library sign stopped me in my tracks. Not wanting to waste a library-visit opportunity, I took a quick art detour to tour the Parkdale Library.
To walk into a warm library on a cold night is very comforting, [...]]]></description>

Don Mills Library&#8211;lobby featured a pillow embroidery display and a potted pine, main level was a massive room with orange walls, and the basement level offered substantial reference and career section.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I attended my twentieth high school reunion at The Elm&#8217;s hotel in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Out of a class of almost 350, only about 50 of us turned up. Our small numbers gave the atmosphere something of a Survivor flavor, as if we were all looking around to see who else [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past year or so, I have been on a delightfully nerdy quest to visit all 99 public libraries in Toronto. As of yesterday, I&#8217;ve visited 41 of them. Woo hoo!
Here&#8217;s some notes on what I remember about the libraries. I won&#8217;t be at all offended if you skim!
Agincourt &#8212; branch library, massive ESL [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that is one beautiful island! Recently returned from PEI, it seems like our week there was a dream. Memories of leaning over the railings of wooden footbridges to admire the clear streams below continue to refresh me, even when I&#8217;m being jostled by September-grouchy commuters on the subway.

		<description><![CDATA[Sicko was a hard movie to watch in many places, but I found it thought-provoking. The suffering which so many Americans have endured at the hands of HMO&#8217;s is outrageous. I really believe health care is a human right, not a business in which the most vulnerable are refused the care they need in order [...]]]></description>
