Actually, let's back up a moment, I've spent much time over the past few years with a creepy crawly concern for bed bugs. UGH, I hate even typing those two awful words! That topic had dominated many a conversations between random acquaintances at fun parties, between close friends at delicious brunches, and between roommates when all involved parties were (hopefully) out of bed, because such a discussion in the confines of sheets would never end well. In short, a strange sense of the sinister had lived in the back of my mind and, as a result, my library relationships had suffered.
Great news: My hysteria has died down! I've banned those two words from my (spoken) dialogue, and have chosen my love of books over any bug-related fear.
Casual conversations at work about the great new library at Fort York prompted me to dust off my Miscellaneous wallet, dig out my pretty blue and white Toronto Public Library card, and visit my old friend Library.
Here are some pics of the new location (so shiny! so new!).
It's basically inside a giant construction site, and the lines of Margaret Atwood's poetry that wraps around the building gives nod to its current surroundings.

**Really great news, ramen lovers! Kinton will stamp your receipt and you may then bring said stamped receipt with you on the next visit to transfer stamp to your Bowler card.
