The cost of learning how to play a musical instrument is about to get a lot cheaper if you’re a member of the Toronto Public Library.
A rental program has recently been launched at the Parkdale branch which allows members to borrow instruments ranging from acoustic guitars to a select number of percussions, strings and keyboards.
The branch is also seeking gently-used musical instrument donations to help bolster the program.
Members must have a valid library card and be over the age of 18 or have parental permission before you can rent any item.
A musical instrument lending agreement must be signed and only one instrument can be borrowed at a time for a period of three weeks.
Members have the options of two renewals, which means anyone can keep the instrument for up to nine weeks.
The library has also posted several videos of how you can take care of your instrument.
