Riverdale

About the Branch

The Riverdale Branch is a beloved East End gem, tucked into Toronto’s vibrant East End Chinatown. Inside, you’ll find shelves filled with Chinese-language stories and Vietnamese DVDs, each one a little window into the neighbourhood’s rich history and cultures.

For the perfect visit, choose a book that sparks your curiosity, pick up a fluffy pineapple bun (bolo bao 菠蘿包) from the nearby bakeries, and wander over to Riverdale Park. Find a cozy spot, turn a few pages, and watch the sky put on one of Toronto’s most magical sunset shows.

Quest: Look closely, how many leaves can you count on the tree in the Children’s Area?
