Borrowing books and technology
Your George Brown student ID is your library card. You can borrow laptops, tablets, Wi-Fi hotspots, charging cables, VR headsets and therapy lamps for free. Most tech is kept at St. James, Casa Loma and Waterfront, so call ahead to check that an item is in.
Use your library account to place holds, check due dates and renew. Loan periods depend on the item.
Research and tech help
Every new student is assigned a personal librarian, who'll email you. Reference desks at Casa Loma, St. James and Waterfront offer drop-in research help Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For evenings and weekends, the askON chat and text service connects you with library staff.
For password resets, multi-factor authentication or Office 365 problems, book a one-on-one appointment at the Casa Loma, St. James, TMU or Waterfront LLC. For writing and citation help, the Tutoring and Learning Centre offers drop-in and booked tutoring.
Accessible library services
