We’re here to help you make the most of YorkU Libraries — from study spaces and research tools to hidden quiet spots and collaborative areas. Whether you prefer classic books or digital resources, there’s something for everyone at Scott, Bronfman, Steacie, Markham and Frost Libraries.
As Library Mentors, we host library tours, study sessions, and book clubs throughout the year. They can be found under Library Workshops page along with sessions run by our librarians. Check the listings for what's coming up, or sign up for the mentee program and we'll email you.
