Scarborough Civic Centre Branch Library Project Enhancement Options
Anne Bailey Director, Branch Libraries Toronto Public Library www.torontopubliclibrary.ca ________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING NOTE – Poverty Reduction Initiatives at Toronto Public Library _____________________________________________________________ Toronto Public Library has developed two initiatives for the City’s poverty reduction strategy in 2015, the Library Access – Fines Forgiveness program and Youth Hubs. What is the Library Access - Fine Forgiveness program? Library Access - Fine Forgiveness is a program to reinstate full library services and borrowing for children and youth at library branches in poverty areas by forgiving outstanding fines starting second quarter 2015, making summer reading programs, collections and after school programs fully accessible to the target audience. Children and youth registered at the 31 library branches and bookmobile stops delivering services to the Toronto Strong Neighbourhood Stratey (TSNS) 2020 neighbourhood improvement areas, whose library privileges are suspended, will be contacted and offered a forgiveness coupon so that full privileges are restored upon presentation of the coupon at the TSNS branch (Attachments 1 and 2). The program will be implemented in two phases. First, in spring 2015 the library will reach out to these children and teens to reinstate their privileges and invite them to join the summer reading club and participate in summer programs at their local branch. Second, in the fall as the school year gets underway, the Library will reach out again to children and teens registered at the TSNS branches with suspended cards, to reinstate their privileges and invite them back to the library. After school programs, reading support programs, collections, computer access and study spaces will be promoted. This campaign can be readily implemented and the outcomes will be tracked by branch.

University of Toronto AstroTours. Speaker: Stephen Ro, University of Toronto. Half of all stars in the night sky are actually in pairs or “binaries”. That is, instead of a singular star like our Sun, these systems have two stars orbiting each other. Life here on Earth fundamentally relies upon the Sun’s (relatively) stable and quiet nature. Binaries, on the other hand, are sometimes found to exchange mass and more often explode! In this talk, explore a variety of binary systems and discuss whether the consequences of having two Suns are worthwhile. Enjoy a planetarium show after the presentation (registration required). Time & location: 8:10 PM McLennan Physical Labs, Room 103, 60 St. George St. Registration required: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/feburuary-4th-2016-uoft-astrotour-planetarium- shows-tickets- 20703603034?utm_campaign=new_event_email&utm_medium=email&utm _source=eb_email&utm_term=viewmyevent_button For more information: http://www.astro.utoronto.ca/astrotours/?page_id=392 Friday, February 5 Respiratory System.
