Toys Alive! Exhibition Tour

Ever wonder what your childhood teddy bears, dolls, and toy soldiers get up to when the lights go out? Find out at a special guided exhibition tour inside the TD Gallery at the Toronto Reference Library.

Exploring 'Toys Alive!' Led by library staff, this quick, half-hour tour explores the *Toys Alive!* exhibition, which draws heavily from the world-renowned Osborne Collection of Early Children’s Books. Visitors will journey through literary works and illustrations dating from the late 1800s to the modern day, celebrating the enduring magic of play, dolly's grand adventures, and teddy bears searching for honey.

How to Join The tour runs from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM on the main floor of the sprawling Toronto Reference Library at Yonge and Bloor. Registration is not strictly required, though it is encouraged to help organizers gauge numbers. Just meet up at the entrance to the TD Gallery right before launch time. It makes for a perfect, nostalgic afternoon stop in the downtown core.
