Calling All Writers: Library’s First Writers’ Room Now Open

Toronto Public Library has created a space for Toronto writers, both professional and aspiring, as part of an extensive revitalization at the Toronto Reference Library.

“Toronto Public Library is committed to supporting authors and other creators, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the city’s writing community,” said Vickery Bowles, City Librarian. “Not only will the Writers’ Room be a convenient place to work, but it will also connect writers to the Toronto Reference Library’s collections and expert research help from librarians.”

Located on the third floor of the Toronto Reference Library, the Writers’ Room is equipped with a welcoming lounge, office workstations, power outlets and access to wireless internet.

More information is available including application for admission to the Writers’ Room, details about the room and guidelines for use.
