Artist and geographer Daniel Rotsztain, a master of landscape architecture student, filled much of his free time last year on a personal quest: to draw each of Toronto\u2019s 100 public libraries. Travelling across the city by bus, bicycle, streetcar and train, he sketched each library branch over the course of two months. His collection, which he calls a \u201clove letter to the library,\u201d was recently published as a colouring book, called All the Libraries Toronto <\/em>(Dundurn Press).<\/p>\n

Portico<\/em> wanted to get in on the fun, so we asked Rotsztain to draw U of G\u2019s McLaughlin Library, which he likes because of its \u201cquiet bustle\u201d and the delicate balance expressed in its architecture: \u201cA brutalist concrete structure that nevertheless lets in lots of light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just like Rotsztain\u2019s collection, we\u2019re also presenting it to you as a colouring page \u2014 tear it out (or download the image<\/a>), dig out your favourite pencil crayons and take some time to be creative this summer. We\u2019d love to see your finished creation \u2014 email or tweet us a picture (@porticomag) and we\u2019ll share it online.<\/p>\n
