Community-Supporting Puzzles

The Toronto Public Library Foundation Launched an Exclusive Puzzle

— October 31, 2020 — Art & Design
In an effort to raise funds for vulnerable community members across the city, the Toronto Public Library Foundation launched a limited edition 'I'm Library People' puzzle that celebrates all 100 Toronto Public Library branches.

Through this initiative, the Toronto Public Library Foundation will use the proceeds to support community members by closing the digital divide—offering access to internet, technology, and other resources that are available through its many different branches.

The 200-piece puzzle is available on Page & Panel's Shopify for $50 CAD, with the price tag including a $20 donation to the foundation. Purchases can be shipped with Canada Post, or picked up at Page & Panel's Yonge Street location for no extra charge.
