Have I mentioned that I love my city’s library? Apparently, on July 31, the Toronto Public Library became the first library in the world to lend 20 million e-books. I am grateful to our library for keeping our city’s reading culture and community thriving.

In related happy news: I will be teaching a creative writing workshop for youth this fall in partnership with the library. It will be fierce, it will be fabulous. It’s open to ages 13+ and it’s free. Please share with the young person in your life!
