This could go here, or in one of the development threads, but as it covers a panoply of projects at various stages, I've stuck it here for now.
First, TPL's Board meets next week.
Meeting link here: https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/about-the-library/board/meetings/2019-jan-12.jsp
Second, at said meeting they will consider the Facilities Master Plan that will guide capital investment over the next few decades.

Highlights from the above:
1. Two new branches recommended, Portlands and Etobicoke City Centre.
2. All other needs to be met by branch expansion, renovation, relocation etc. as well as greater open hours.
3. In downtown, the shift and enlargement of City Hall branch and St. Lawrence were already contemplated, though not funded. Also proposed are an expansion to Lillian H. Smith, undetermined investment for St. Jamestown, expansion/relo for
Parliament, reconstruction for Spadina/Bloor.
4. Elsewhere in the City major investments for Parkdale, Rexdale, Sanderson, Jones, Danforth/Coxwell, Albert Campbell, Maryvale, Bridletown, Don Mills, Fairview, and Barbara Frum among others.
