The university has two libraries that offer comfortable study spaces, silent study room, and bookable group study rooms.

At the North Oshawa Library, we have the cozy Fireside Reading Room, a digital media recording room, an assisted-use carrel room with adaptive technology, colour printers, many computer workstations, and a 3D printing service.

At the Social Science, Education and Humanities Library, there are die-cutting machines, the beautiful Sleightholm Education Room, individual study carrels, a group study room, and a silent study room.

You can also borrow equipment like laptops, chargers, and podcast kits.

Hours of operation at the Libraries vary throughout the year. We encourage visitors to check our website for up to date hours.

While you're on our website, check out our Research Guides to find information organized by Faculty and program. Research Guides highlight a selection of the best resources for each program, including article databases, books, statistics, websites and more. We even have a Citation Research Guide with short how-to guides for APA, MLA, legal and other citation styles.
