Brace Yourselves: It Gets Even Better
Here's the earth-shattering news: Getting a Toronto library card is absolutely free (cue the celebratory music!). Yes, FREE. As in no money escapes your wallet. As in "free" like free kittens (although kittens come with a different set of responsibilities). That's right, for the low, low cost of zero dollars and zero cents, you gain access to a treasure trove of books, movies, music, and more than you can shake a metaphorical stick at.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Libraries Are Awesome)
Not only is the library card itself free, but borrowing stuff from the library is also free. Free books! Free audiobooks! Free access to online resources! It's like a choose-your-own-adventure of free entertainment and knowledge, all at your fingertips (or should we say, library card taps?).
Now, before you rush off to the nearest branch and barricade yourself in with a mountain of Stephen King novels (we've all been there), there's a small caveat. This free library card magic applies to Toronto residents, students, and those who work or own property in the city. For our friends from out of town, there's a special non-resident card available, but that's a story for another day (and it does come with a small fee).
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Here's the short version:
- Toronto residents: Free library card, free borrowing!
- Non-Toronto residents: Special card with a fee, but still cheaper than buying all those books.
Because let's be honest, who can afford that many books?
