3 Free libraries have a special claim on every ratepayer who desires to see our country advance to the front, and keep pace with the world in art, science, and commerce, and augment the sum of human happiness... They are a literary park where all can enjoy themselves during their leisure hours, to all lovers of books and students, to the rich and poor alike, the doors of these institutions are open without money and without price. John Hallam, Transcription of the Address of John Hallam, Chairman of the Toronto Public Library Board of Management, February 28, 1883, 1883, 13.
4 Two Competing Identities Librarians as Apostles of Culture *: Refined, genteel, cultural elites who enable social reform and moral uplift through curated collections. Librarians as Social Workers : Progressives interested in community outreach (particularly to vulnerable people) and organizing programs based on community needs. *Term used by Dee Garrison, Apostles of Culture: The Public Librarian and American Society, (New York: Free Press, 1979.
5 Thesis While the Toronto Public Library (TPL) began as a riskadverse institution, it grew into its role as a social equalizer because the expansion and survival of libraries and the library profession required outreach to a broader, more inclusive community. The TPL remade itself from an apostle of culture to a neighbourhood-based social service in order to expand and survive. Emblematic of this was its debut into services for immigrants and the poor by way of settlement house libraries.

9 Conditions Leading to the Toronto Settlement House Movement Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth Increase in non-anglo-american immigration Widening gap between rich and poor 1897: National Conference of Charities and Correction held in Toronto 1911: Dr. Charles Hastings published his Toronto slums report City remained reluctant to fund substantive solutions to address poverty and homelessness

19 The over-crowding is such that it is almost impossible to work under present conditions, and at the same time we feel that, over-crowded as we are, we have not begun to reach the vast number of children in this district whom this Library should serve but cannot because of the lack of space.

26 Themes Arising
27 Disputable Records Photos by Elisa Sze
28 Mutual Advancement Both professions dominated by women Hurdles: seeking professional recognition and workplace equity Making program decisions based on getting in contact with the people themselves rather than statistics alone
29 Inability to Ignore Poverty and Immigration [S]everal young vagabonds found their way into the library. Most of the children are from the poorer homes judging from the outward signs, namely, uncombed hair, dirty face and hands on the whole they have an uncared for appearance. College St. Daybook , November 23, Boys and Girls House Archives, Series 2, Box 40, Item 4. TPL Osborne Collection.
30 Nationalism & Expansion Waiting for the Story Hour. Toronto Public Library, Central Library, College St., n.w. corner St. George St., 1921 Toronto Reference Library, Baldwin Collection, X Cab
31 [W]hen I see our children gathered around the hearth for the story-hour, with the flickering flames lighting up their little foreign faces I realize that if many of these children are to have their golden egg it is the Library which must don the plumage of the golden goose. Ruth Soward, in Toronto Public Library Annual Report, 1933, p. 31
32 These little libraries, being in the districts where foreigners are found in such numbers, are the means of rapidly educating these non-english citizens, and are thus rendering a great national contribution. Lillian H. Smith, in Toronto Public Library Annual Report, 1926, p. 42
33 Librarians as Social Workers Slum houses, ca City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1244, Item 3032
34 Librarians as Social Workers The old traditions die hard, and it is difficult for our modern and popular social movements to grasp the idea that a library when living up to its privileges is really the centre of the social movements of any community. George Locke, in Toronto Public Library Annual Report, 1927, p. 8.
35 If it is not going to be possible for us to build more branches then I should like to see the outpost libraries further developed. I have visited the outpost libraries in schools and Settlement houses, and I feel they are doing a great piece of work for those children who need it most. Edith M. Davidson, in Toronto Public Library Annual Report, 1931, p. 10.
