  • First Report 1967-1969
    I FIRST REPORT 1967-1969 METROPOLITAN TORONTO LIBRARY BOARD FIRST REPORT, 1967-1969 of the Metropolitan Toronto Library Board THE BOARD Chairman: T. H. GOUDGE Members: JOHN M. BENNETT, M.A., Ph.D. CONTROLLER MARGARET CAMPBELL, Q.C. CARL W. CASKEY WALTER G. CASSELS, Q.C. C. DOUGLAS CUTHBERT HER WORSHIP, THE MAYOR OF EAST YORK, MISS TRUE DAVIDSON MRS. G. 0. MORGAN HARVEY L. MOTT Director: JOHN T. PARKHILL, M.A., B.L.S. Secretary- Treasurer: ANTHONY H. WINFIELD, CG.A. The Metropolitan Toronto Library Board was set up as a regional library board under the Public Libraries Act, 1966 and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Amendment Act, 1966. It is composed of one person appointed by each of the six area Members of the Board who resigned during the three-year period: municipalities; the chairman of the Metropolitan Council, or his representative; one person appointed KEELE S. GREGORY (1967) by the Metropolitan Toronto School Board; and one person appointed by the Metropolitan Separate CHARLES L. CACCIA, M.P. (1968) School Board. Members of the Board are appointed for a three-year term. R. C. STONE (1969) REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN A writer about books has stated that "those works are most valuable that set our thinking faculties in the fullest operation." Many such works are contained in the historic Central Collections which had been brought together over the years by the Toronto Public Library. Never before have so many people sought out the rich resources of these collections and it is a matter of some significance that this growing interest has increased during the first full year of their operation by the Metro Board.

  • COVID-19 Emergency Response
    STAFF REPORT 14. INFORMATION ONLY COVID-19 Emergency Response Date: April 27, 2020 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY The purpose of this report to update the Toronto Public Library Board on Toronto Public Library’s (TPL’s) operations, services and responses to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and its integration with City of Toronto’s Incident Management System. TPL’s pandemic plan has been developed in accordance with the best practices of emergency management and business continuity, and in alignment with the City of Toronto planning, including the Toronto Public Health Plan for a Pandemic, and the City of Toronto Pandemic Integrated Corporate Response Plan. TPL’ s Pandemic Response Plan and the emergency response structure are provided in Attachments 1, 2 and 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT The emergency shut down of branches at the end of day on March 13 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will significantly impact TPL’s operating and capital budgets in a number of ways. Immediately following the shutdown, there were additional operating cost pressures, including the loss revenues from fines, printing and facility rentals. Some operating budget reliefs being experienced include savings in guard services, utilities, staff printing and office supplies. All staff continue to be paid. There are also additional costs being incurred related to setting up a remote workforce. Overall, for the first month of the shutdown, TPL estimates that there is a net operating budget pressure of nearly $1 million. As the shutdown continues, it is expected that lost revenues will continue, and additional savings will be realized for the operating budget, and this will be monitored and reported to the Board and City.

  • Toronto Public Library Response
    . STAFF REPORT 21 INFORMATION ONLY Toronto Overdose Action Plan – Toronto Public Library Response Date: September 25, 2017 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY In February 2017, Toronto Public Health engaged TPL to participate in the planned response by city services to the Toronto Overdose Action Plan. As a result, Toronto Public Library adopted mandatory information/awareness overdose basics training for all public service staff provided by Toronto Public Health that is currently underway. Further review of training needs for public service staff was recommended and TPL has sought to partner with Toronto Public Health on future public education and promotion initiatives in support of the plan. As the year progressed, the city experienced further worsening of the opioid crisis. Previous barriers to accessing stock of naloxone, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, and the provision of in-person training in administration were removed, and the library system is preparing to offer expanded, voluntary training for staff if needed to respond to an overdose situation onsite. FINANCIAL IMPACT Online and in-person training is being provided for staff via Toronto Public Health at no cost. Arrangements are being made to acquire intranasal naloxone kits via the City of Toronto’s Material Management and Stores at the cost of $145 per pack (each pack contains two units of intranasal naloxone). Stock will be purchased on an as-need basis and distributed once qualified staff have completed training. There is a possibility that in the future some naloxone kits may be acquired from Toronto Public Health at no cost, but will be dependent on provincial funding still being determined.

The purpose of this report is to provide the Strategic Planning Steering Committee an overview of the refined strategic plan priorities and outcomes based on phase two public and stakeholder consultation and feedback from the TPLB Strategic Planning Steering Committee.

To date, over 4,100 staff, residents, stakeholders, and partners have participated in the process. As a result of this research and consultation, the five priorities of the new strategic plan are: A. Creating inspiring, inclusive and sustainable public spaces B. Expanding access to technology and digital literacy training C. Empowering Torontonians to succeed in the changing workforce and economy D. Investing in staff to deliver exceptional customer experiences in a complex and changing environment E. Facilitating and defending democratic values Strategic Plan 2020-2024: Resilience, Success and Well-Being for our City and its Communities 1 The new strategic plan describes how the Library will better inform, engage and connect Toronto and its residents in the five priorities. Torontonians will experience greater awareness, access, and use of library services in ways that uniquely serve their needs.

  • Status of the Auditor General's Risk and Opportunity Assessment of The
    AU6.6 REPORT FOR ACTION Status of the Auditor General’s Risk and Opportunity Assessment of the City and its Major Agencies and Corporations Date: October 8, 2020 To: Audit Committee From: Auditor General Wards: All SUMMARY The Auditor General undertakes a risk-based approach to audit selection. To identify audit priorities for her Audit Work Plan, every five years the Auditor General performs an extensive risk assessment of the operations of the City divisions and its major agencies and corporations included in her mandate. The results of the Auditor General’s last city- wide risk assessment were reported in 2015. In accordance with the Auditor General's 2020 Audit Work Plan, the Auditor General initiated a city-wide risk and opportunity assessment in early 2020. The purpose of the Auditor General's city-wide risk and opportunity assessment is to inform the development of her risk-based Audit Work Plan. It helps to ensure that all significant areas of the City are evaluated from an audit risk perspective by using uniform criteria to identify areas that may warrant audit attention. Determining which areas to audit and the appropriate allocation of audit resources is essential in maximizing the value of an effective audit process. The Auditor General's 2020 city-wide risk and opportunity assessment is still underway and the purpose of this report is to inform the Audit Committee of progress to date. In 2020, the Auditor General's city-wide risk and opportunity assessment also includes the Toronto Public Library and Toronto Police Service. Both of these Boards have requested the Auditor General to perform this assessment.
