Your City, Your Libraries
Toronto contains dozens of world-class libraries that are publicly accessible, each with their own collection strengths that complement Ryerson University Library & Archives' great collection. Whether you're looking for dentistry texts, an obscure work of Canadian art, or a popular novel, have no fear! This guide will inform you about the collections at the Toronto Public Library, the University of Toronto Libraries, York University Libraries, OCAD University Library, and the TIFF Reference Library.
In the left sidebar, you will find more information about how to access the collections and their strengths for different disciplines.
