Toronto Public Library Access Interruption
Toronto Public Library recently experienced a cybersecurity attack. Library branches remain open but certain services are unavailable. See their website for the timeline to resolution, frequently asked questions, and available services.
Access
The Toronto Public Library (TPL) has 100 library branches throughout the City of Toronto, including two very large reference libraries.
TMU students can receive a Toronto Public Library card at any TPL branch by presenting proof of their student status plus name and address identification. For further details on the identification requirements, see the policies for non-residents who work, go to school, or own property in Toronto. Students do not have to live in Toronto to be eligible for a card.
Having a library card means that you have borrowing privileges at all TPL branches, including electronic resources and e-books. Card holders can also renew resources online and request to have books transferred to the closest library from a distant branch.
