More From The Star:
In 2017, the library’s physical circulation — including print books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and so on, but not ebooks — was the highest in North America for systems serving over a million customers: 24,459,477 items, said Wendy Banks, who promotes the Toronto Public Library’s collections online.
