Smith has known Pinsky for decades. He, like many North Enders, grew up coming to the library often and began working there in Grade 11. In the ’90s, Pinsky joined the library’s team as the reading support program co-ordinator, with big ideas about how to expand the program while engaging kids.“When the program first started, it was the brainchild of the late Terry Symonds, who was the first youth worker here at the library. And one of the things Terry wanted to ensure was that tutors that came in would reflect the kids,” Smith says.
