Homage to Public Libraries and Their Custodians

Whenever I am in a new city, I make a point of visiting its public libraries. I consider public libraries temples of knowledge and sources of perpetual creative inspiration that need to be worshipped, preserved and nurtured with utmost care. I took these pictures of Toronto Reference Library (the biggest) and Yorkville (the historical) walking in Toronto downtown during my across-Canada book tour.
I would like here to acknowledge all those librarians who across the centuries have worked and are still working “behind the scenes” as silent and trustful guardians of our true and shared richness.
