MetropolitanToronto Reference Library

Pretty amazing building - the largest library in Canada. And right across the street from mia casa.

This is the backside view, in case you don't recognize it. The front is even more impressive, but I'm too lazy to walk around the corner. And too cold.

Just a chili pepper's throw from the King Palace Restaurant. So a warm book and some spicy chicken are within easy walking distance.

Formerly the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library, now just the Toronto Reference Library, since the Toronto Public Library System sucked it into its craw.

Over one million linear feet of manuscript materials. And with the movie opening last week, one of the largest collections of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Author of Sherlock Holmes.
