My Favourite Libraries and Ice Cream Stores 2024

In this blog, I am going to reveal my three favourite libraries and ice cream stores in 2024.


I am going to start with my three favourite libraries. My third favourite library was TRL. I loved all the cool exhibits and especially the food exhibits. Here are some pictures.

My second favourite library was North York Central. I loved that each floor was unique, and there was a huge teen section. Here are some pictures:

My favourite library is Lillian H. Smith. It has two cool collections: the Merril Collection of Science Fiction, and the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books. Most of the time each collection has an exhibit showing old books. Here are some pictures:

My favourite ice cream store was SOMA. The store is so accessible and the ice cream was fresh. I needed to wait five minutes but it was so worth it. Here are some pictures:

My favourite library and ice cream combination is Wychwood and Dutch Dreams. I know that I did not put Wychwood library in the top three, and that is because I could not see all the way into the teen section. But, it is very nice and worth going to. Here are some pictures from Wychwood library:
