Library Event

The inaugural event took place at the Toronto Reference Library on April 27. The foundation used projection mapping to light up the building and showcase words and images along the walls of the library, while reinforcing the event's red-and-black color palette.

Event sponsor Toronto Life had a branded champagne bar at the entrance of the venue.

Universal Music Group's "Digging in the Crates" station allowed guests to pick their favorite song from the library's 170,000-piece vinyl record collection to have it played during dinner.

Elevators featured branded doors with the name of the event and sponsor TD.

Attendants wearing branded outfits escorted guests to the second floor.

An area sponsored by Type Books featured branded tables with word games including crossword puzzles.

Guests were invited to participate in giant word searches using glow-in-the-dark markers.

Attendees could bid on silent-auction items with tablets powered by Givergy.

The event's name was spelled out giant white letters on the floor that overlooked the dining area.

The Digital Innovation Hub was turned into an bustling tech bar where guests could test out technology found at the Toronto Public Library, including robotics and a 3-D printer.

On the main level on the library, guests were invited to try out a variety of virtual-reality headsets.

Brian Leonard created latte portraits at the library's Blazac’s Literary Café.

On-theme table settings had placemats that doubled as word searches.

Bellosound spun tunes at a branded DJ booth during the post-dinner party.
