The Toronto Standard's Igor Bonifacic has shared a remarkable video of a drone flying through the Toronto Reference Library.

After receiving a $10.6-million infusion from multiple levels of government and the Toronto Public Library Foundation, the Library decided to invest the cash into a variety of improvements, including automated shelving, futuristic looking study pods, a suite of 3D printers and a suite of new learning spaces. The improvements are already starting to pay dividends; visits to the branch increased by 20% during their construction.

As many of the improvements have a high-tech twist to them, it seems only fitting that the TPL decided to document and advertise them with a technological marvel like the consumer aerial drone.
