And that is all the libraries! 

This was a fun project which did what I wanted it to do: make me take a walk in all sorts of different neighbourhoods I would otherwise not go to. I found that most of the branches are small neighbourhood places where you can sit and read, have storytime for children, find a magazine, find a public washroom and pick up the books you have put on hold -- not every little branch has all the books you might want, but the system is large and you can get any circulating book delivered to your local branch. 

What will next year's ticky-list project be? Bus routes? Parks? High schools? We shall see.
