Excerpt from Toronto Public Library: Thirty-First Annual Report for the Year 1914
Our aim is not, and should not be, the building up of a vast and splendid mausoleum of literature, with gilded walls and marble corridors, but rather the looking to the creation of a People's Library, for the everyday use of the people, its arms reaching out to every home.
In the days gone by saloons were plentiful on the landscape and libraries were scarce. The day is coming when libraries will be plentiful and saloons will be scarce. With this end in view I would urge and recommend to the Board a continuance of the policy which has governed it in the past few years, until there shall not be a section of our great and populous city which has not a branch of this great library within easy access of every man, woman and child.
