Book a Librarian – a free personalized service
If you are new to Canada, looking for a job, or researching a topic, there are many questions to research in the process.
One of the ways the library can help you is through the Book a Librarian service!
It is available at three research & reference branches – Toronto Reference Library (located next to TTC subway station Bloor-Yonge), North York Central Library (subway station North York Centre) and Urban Affairs Library (subway station St. Andrew).
Book a Librarian is a free personalized service for research or library information.
You will meet with a librarian for 30-60 minutes to help you for example:
- Learn how to search for a job
- Get help with homework or in researching a topic
- Discover something good to read in English or in your own language
- Find career information or information on how to start your own business
- Find citizenship information
- Find ESL or FSL materials and tests e.g. TOEFL
- Learn about accreditation for internationally trained professionals and trades people
- Find community information e.g. housing, child care
