Library Branches with Tagalog
The following Toronto Public Library branches have items in Tagalog:
| Large: 1500 or more items | Medium: 750-1500 items | Small: Fewer than 750 items |
|---|---|---|
You can also view our Tagalog locations on a map.
To find Tagalog materials at the library, you can search by typing directly into the search box on the Toronto Public Library homepage. When using advanced search, make sure to select 'Tagalog' from the language menu.
Note: Other related language options include 'Filipino', "Philippine languages', or 'Pilipino', but each one only has a handful of items.
Here are search results showing all Tagalog materials in the catalogue, sorted by date. I've also put together a list of some of the great Tagalog material we have at the library:
Fiction
Non Fiction
DVDs
Hoopla
Did you know that you can watch movies or TV shows and listen to music online, for free, with Hoopla? Here are some titles, either in Tagalog or set in the Philippines, that I thought you might be interested in:

Zinio lets you read current issues of popular magazines online, for free. There are quite a few magazines from the Philippines on Zinio. Here are a few you might be interested in:
