A Book by an Author from Toronto: Picks for the TPL Reading Challenge
If you are a data geek like me, you already know that the 2021 Census population data is now available by Statistics Canada. The results show that there are over 2.79 million people who call Toronto home! While only population data is currently available, data sets on age, type of dwelling, ...

Thanks for the suggestion, Ronald. Yes, I agree. I will remove the spoiler from this review and your comment as well. Unfortunately I'm unable to add your suggestion to this blog post since I'm not sure if it has been read by one of our staff members. But please consider making another comment recommending The Golem and the Jinni.
A Book Where the Main Character is Not Human: Picks for the TPL Reading Challenge 2021
I don't know about you, but I usually need a break from people, and I suppose I'm the same when it comes to books too. I like having a break from reading about people, and usually turn towards other topics instead. Here are some recommendations for a book where the main character is not human ...

Want to Play a Ukulele?
The ukulele is a musical instrument that is very accessible to children. Its small size is perfect for little fingers, and it sounds great even if your child (or you!) aren't able to play it perfectly just yet. Live music has the ability to immediately grab a child's attention in... Continue reading

Oh no!! I'm so sad to hear this. Anna was such a great writer, knowing how to tell stories perfectly for little ones. Her Llama Llama books are always a big hit at storytime. So sad to hear.
Author of Llama Llama Series Has Died
It's a sad day in the children's literature world. Author Anna Dewdney of the famed Llama Llama series has passed away. Kids and parents alike come into the library quite often asking for the Llama Llama & friends books by name. As a friend of mine put it, many parents owe happy bedtimes ...
Thanks, Katherine!
This is so true. STEM for little kids isn't scary at all, in fact I think it is actually really easy since kids are already interested in STEM things like counting, colours, bugs, dinosaurs, animals, etc. Nothing scary about it at all! STEM is just a not so great (in my opinion!) acronym that makes this sound more complicated than it actually is.

Many schools for older children already incorporate these four areas in their curriculum, offering students the opportunity to explore STEM concepts, and also preparing them to be competitive in an increasingly STEM based workforce. But did... Continue reading

Hi Katherine!
I love that these kids are taking the time to design what they want! Such a great way to be practical and creative at the same time. My ideal playground probably wouldn't have monkey bars! :P
I also love the idea of community action to make your neighbourhood better. Last week I helped re-open Silvercreek Park in Etobicoke, a revitalization that was community driven. It never had a playground, and now it has a beautiful playground for all the kids to play in!
Going to the Playground!
Parks and playgrounds are a vital part of a growing child's life. They are places where kids can explore the world, meet new friends and have fun! I remember going to the park all the time as a child. My local playground had a really big slide. Climbing the ladder to get to the very top and slid...

I'm so excited to see the completed project! Will it be compiled into a book, or online blog, or something else, and then made available publicly?
Amazing work, Christina! So glad that the library is supporting your work!
