Come check out our human books.
Available for holds starting Saturday, October 23.

Who is allowed to borrow a human book?

Anyone with a valid adult or teen Toronto Public Library card is welcome
to participate. Children (12 and under) can also take part, if they are
accompanied by a parent or guardian.

What if I don't have a library card?

If you need a library card, branch staff will be happy to register you for one, for free.

Can I "place a hold" on a human book in advance?

Yes, starting on Saturday, October 23. Call or drop into one of the five
participating branches. Please have your library card number - and
phone number - ready.

How many human books can I place a hold on?

You can reserve one book in advance. Additional books can be borrowed on
the day of the program at any of the participating branches.

How do I "pick up" my hold on the day of the program?

On the day of the program, you will need to show your card to sign out
your hold, so please remember to bring it. Please arrive ten minutes
before your reservation. Any holds that are not "picked up" (i.e. signed
out) within 10 minutes of the reservation start time will be released
and made available to others to sign out.

How long can I sign out a book for?

Each session runs for a maximum of 30 minutes.

Do I have to stay for the entire 30 minutes?

Either the borrower or the human book can end the session at any time - at their discretion.

Can I sign up for sign language interpretation?

The library offers sign language interpretation with advanced notice.
Please request this service with the respective branch at least two
weeks prior to the event.
