This is our Toronto Public Library culture!!
The refusal to help incident that happened at this Riverdale library on Nov 29/24 is merely a tip of an iceberg of the Toronto Public Library bureaucracy & relatively heartless & selective rules/policies overrule humanity culture based on my personal grievance & all negative experiences with Toronto Public Library, top to bottom. This little girl is super...

When I shared my concerns about a suspicious TPL email attachment with Sarah Bradley who sent it to me, I tried everything I was able to describing what I saw at my end as my old computer was incapable of 'screenshot' whatsoever. TPL was still dealing with this major cyberattack of their own & I had much worries about this highly questionable email...

Sarah Bradley of Toronto Public Library told me she would probably need about week to assemble a team, do some interviews, etc regarding my appeal for an allegation & immediate retaliation & sanction handed to me by Yorkwoods Service Manager Young Lak Jin against me based only on lies with no evidence or any witness. Sarah Bradley also told me Stephen Arnoz...

Yorkwoods Service Manager Young Lak Jin has been lying to me other than being consistently incompetent handling issues I brought to his attention for a decade. One morning, as I was doing my work quietly at Yorkwoods Library, Young Lak Jine just showed up where I was, walking towards me & acting in such a bullish manner, totally disrespectful of my privacy...

I have been experiencing dictatorship style like Toronto Public Library top management in threatening me to shut up with my voicing out & sharing of my ''unwelcoming'' experiences & criticisms about them or else.

Was there a proper tender process for Toronto Public Library's " third-party security experts" re cyber incident? Who decided to hire these "experts" who may be another form of big waste of taxpayers' money on their whatever extensive & expensive security upgrades, consultations, & so on. How come one of the largest PUBLIC LIBRARY systems seems to keep...
Read full review of Toronto Public Libraryincompetence and technical problems
Toronto Public Library - a name of strange and backward places. I went to Agincourt Library, typed and tried to print. A pop-up windows asking for library card number and pin, I entered a few times, did not work, so frustrating. Went to the front desk for help, and the front desk said 'We know the problem and it's already escalated." I went back to the same library an hour later. Same problem, couldn't print.
Went back there a week later. Same problem. Talked to the librarian, still the same problem, escalated to the management, same problem. These nefarious idiots don't care, don't know any courtesy to flip a reply to the complaint. It's a very disappointing mix of some communities in the name of diversity. Worthless.
Library's PCs are old and dirty, Wi-Fi is a charity from Bell. This is the picture of the libraries of the richest city of one of the richest countries in this fake world.
It clearly says the gross incompetency of the shameless management, and City Mayor Stupid John Tory, and the hypocrite city councilors.
And which idiot says DEPLETING Toronto is the best city on this earth? Go to Toronto Public Libraries.

I just discovered this review & I cannot agree more with what's being said here
Toronto Public Libraries who I believe fail to provide a normal, safe & quiet for most part of the 15 years.
I feel that TPL management has targeted me as a trouble maker who keep complaining about excessive ongoing loud noises, disruptive/aggressive behaviors, verbal & physical violence against me, incompetency of TPL management & staff to take initiatives handling continued loud noises, TPL supporting of a rule defying youth culture & frontline senior manager & branch head abusing their authority, making bad & biased judgement & sanctioning against patrons not to their liking based on one-sided lies with no witness or evidence, TPL muting my complaints on facebook, TPL City Librarian disallowed my attempts to contact the TPL Board of Directors, & much much more as I have experienced while dealing with the TPL &bureaucracy since 2009.
.
And of course, none of the city politician or civic bureaucracy would help as they all belong to the same larger incompetent, rigid, indifferent & totally insensitive infrastructure whose members care only about their job security & payrolls & they need to protect one another & pretty much nothing else.
