One of Toronto\u2019s greatest feats is its library system. Not only is it the largest public library system in Canada, but it\u2019s the largest neighbourhood-based system in the world. With 100 libraries spanning all across the city, the city\u2019s collection has over 12 million items in total for use by the public. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our Library District Condos is proudly being built right beside Toronto\u2019s 99th library, the Fort York Library! This 16,000 square foot library will be just steps away from our 29-storey condo at Bathurst and Fort York, making it a great neighbourhood amenity for our owners.
