Biblio Bash 2024 Supports A Blooming Canadian Community of Newcomers

The Toronto Public Library Foundation’s Biblio Bash once again graced the halls of the Toronto Reference Library yesterday, continuing its tradition since 2017. This annual black-tie fundraiser brings authors, literary enthusiasts, and philanthropists together to support the Toronto Public Library’s most pressing needs. This year, the funds raised will unlock opportunities for newcomers to Canada to support vital library services that assist individuals and families settling in our city.
