Toronto Reference Library

The Bram & Bluma Appel Salon is set on the second floor of Toronto Reference Library, Canada’s largest public reference library. A cherished Toronto landmark, Toronto Reference Library is a cultural centre at the heart of the city, located at Yonge and Bloor Streets, with ample local parking and several distinguished local accommodation options. The Appel Salon’s contemporary and versatile design is flooded with natural light from a dramatic clerestory of windows and features wonderful views of the city from two outdoor terraces. Well-appointed finishes and leading-edge technology all set the stage for a memorable event.

The Salon is comprised of three rooms: Epic Hall, Prologue, and Novella. Dinner seating for as many as 350 guests is available in Epic Hall, or, for a more intimate option, Novella accommodates as many as 90 guests. Prologue, equipped with a built-in bar, offers pre-function cocktail space in combination with Epic or Novella. Our competitive room rental rates include a built-in stage in Epic Hall, stylish dining/meeting chairs, dining tables, and lounge furniture. Our team of experienced event professionals will assist you with planning your event in the Salon.
