The Lillian H. Smith branch of the Toronto Public Library is located on 239 College Street just east of Spadina. A beautiful, large and airy building, done extensively in tiles and rich polished wood, named after an early 20th century Toronto children's librarian, the Lillian H. Smith branch hosts numerous special collections including the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books and the Merril Collection of Science Fiction, Speculation and Fantasy, the latter having its own fan group.
