The Canada Comics Open Library (CCOL) is a 100% volunteer-run community library dedicated to comics! (comics, graphic novels, and comics zines) Our first Toronto library location was at 585 Dundas Street East on the third floor of the Centre for Social Innovation in the community lounge. In April of 2021, we moved to 720 Bathurst St. at CSI Annex, and as of March 2023, we are located at 986 Bathurst Street (sharing a space with Story Planet!). We are also now ready to lend out our comics! We update our library hours each week. Before the pandemic, we were generally open Wednesday to Sunday from 11am to 6pm, but we are currently softly reopening on Fridays between 12pm-6pm. We are a registered non-profit organization that aims to be an inclusive, educational, and recreational public space for comics and graphics novels while showcasing the work of Canadian comic artists and supporting comics communities. CCOL aims to fill a hole in the current cultural landscape with regards to comics accessibility. We hope to broadly promote the medium and creators through developing meaningful partnerships and a diverse collection. We also work with various Canadian artists and comics-related communities in Canada to promote accessibility to and recognition of the Canadian comics scene, and we want to be a part of increasing representation of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and marginalized comics creators, stories, and art. CCOL also works to help promote artists living in Canada on a local and global level through public outreach including our website and social media platforms. We are currently working on an online database for Canadian cartoonists!
