Your City, Your Libraries
Toronto contains dozens of world-class libraries that are publicly accessible, each with their own collection strengths that complement Toronto Metropolitan University Library & Archives' great collection. Whether you're looking for dentistry texts, an obscure work of Canadian art, a popular novel, or artists books, this guide will help you find it. It includes the collections at the Toronto Public Library, the University of Toronto Libraries, York University Libraries, OCAD University Library, the TIFF Reference Library, and the AGO Library and Archives.
In the left sidebar, you will find more information about how to access the collections and their strengths for different disciplines.
