Hot Hot Hot at WOTS!
Word on the Street was a great success despite record-breaking high temperatures. It was wonderful to see all the visitors who dropped by the Toronto Library Workers Union booth - we sold out of our popular "Library Warrior" t-shirts fast - but our Daniel Rotsztain Carnegie bookbags and our giveaways remained a hit. Thanks to all our volunteers who staffed the booth!
Booth 322! See you at Word on the Street!
