Join Lawrence, your top hatted host, for an evening of sleuthing our Toronto Reference Library.

At 5:30 pm, we will meet at the Ginger Restaurant, for some Vietnamese beer and spring rolls with vermicelli. The Ginger has been here for 30+ years, serving up hot steamy goodness.

All good investigations begin with detectives, so what better place to start than the study of Sherlock Holmes. We will ride the lift to the 5th floor and enter the abode on Baker Street.

Afterwards, we will return to the ground floor to take in some exhibits of 3D printing and uncover some clues on how this mysterious marvel accomplishes this.

No good investigation is complete without investigating the handwritten documents. Our last stop will be the TD Gallery.

This wraps up our crime scene, so to speak.

If you want to delve further, here are some of the places you can visit.

5th - Chinese archive
4th - Turntables and LP records
3rd - Magazines and Newspapers
2nd - Youth Zines
Ground Floor - Balzacs and Bookends

And there is a mural outside in Sherlock Holmes Walk, featuring artistic renditions by the Friends of Arthur Conan Doyle, which I have marked on the map guide.
