Toronto Libraries.</strong> With 40 libraries across three campuses, we are proud to support learning, teaching, and research at the University of Toronto with collections that are unparalleled in Canada. Our holdings include over 12 million volumes in 341 languages, nearly 4,000,000 electronic books, thousands of electronic journals and databases, 32,000 linear metres of archival material, and 1.5 petabytes of data. Through an international network of resource-sharing partnerships, we also extend access to materials from thousands of other institutions around the world.</p><div class="read-more-content"><p>Our libraries are more than just spaces for academic success; they are evolving hubs that support the broader student experience and serve as a vital source of research at the University of Toronto. We’ve transformed our spaces to create welcoming environments that foster community, collaboration, and personal growth. From quiet corners for focused study to dynamic spaces for group projects and casual connections, our libraries are designed to meet the diverse needs of students, faculty, and researchers alike.</p><p>As a hub for research, we connect scholars to unparalleled collections, expert guidance, and cutting-edge tools. Whether you’re writing your first paper, delving into advanced research, or exploring our extraordinary special collections, our dedicated librarians and staff are here to help. Through online services, workshops, and in-person consultations, we provide the expertise and resources you need to achieve your goals and make meaningful discoveries.</p><p>I hope the Libraries’ rich collections, welcoming spaces, and expert services will support your academic journey and enhance your campus experience. My colleagues and I welcome your feedback and ideas.</p><p style="float:right !important;text-align:right;">With best regards,<br><strong>Larry P.
