Some library spaces and services reopen Sept 7
In response to the community's partial return to campus, we have reopened some Library spaces. Current students, faculty, and staff can retrieve items from the stacks, use workstations without booking in advance, and borrow some laptops and technology. They can also visit the Information and Loans Desk to borrow materials or the Reference and Research Desk to get research help; we also continue to offer many remote supports to our virtual community.
In response to reopening access to our physical collections, the curbside pickup service and access to the HathiTrust ETAS have now closed. For more details on our reopening, please see Services & Operations.
Interlibrary loans and intercampus delivery now available
Current students, faculty, and staff can now request materials from participating University of Toronto libraries, as well as from other institutions not available at U of T, for pickup at the UTM Library.

Campus construction activities have closed part of Outer Circle Road across from the Central Utilities Plant and are detouring traffic through the drop-off lane in front of the Library.
