Near this entrance to the North York Central Library inside the North York Civic Centre is this plaque. Here's what it says:
This plaque honours the achievements of Gladys Allison who was the major force in establishing North York's first municipally sponsored library service. Gladys Allison served on the North York Public Library Board from its inception in 1950 both as a member and chairperson until 1966. In 1959, the first North York Central Library was built at Yonge Street and Park Home Avenue and named the Gladys Allison building. In 1972 Gladys Allison was awarded a golden anniversary medallion by the City of North York for thirty years of civic service.
