DURDANA is so passionate about helping people. When my uncle’s first book was published, he wished to donate his book to VPL. I talked to Durdana and she agreed. She talked to her managers about the book and finally it got approved. When I told my uncle that his book is going to be placed in VPL’s Urdu Collection, he got so excited. All I can say is WOW, these are his words when he heard about it. All I can say is, thank you so much Durdana! I really appreciate it. You went above and beyond. Thank you for your precious time!! You are awesome!!!

— Olivia Dani

We'd like to thank Ursula who we know is no longer working at the branches! We first met her back in 2017 at a puppet show she put on at the Dufferin Clark branch. It was so much fun, and we have been attending all the puppet shows at all the other branches now. She then hosted a Maker program for 3-5 years old. She was so much fun and the activities she put together were so creative. My little one learned so much and had so much fun. We know that she's no longer in the branches and are so sad, but it was amazing to meet her and have participated in her activities! THANK YOU, URSULA! WE MISS YOU!
