Starting Monday August 9th, bookable study spaces will be available for students at the Waterloo campus library. Access to study space will continue as offered in the winter semester until the end of August. Consideration for this transitional summer restart was based on the evolving Regional Public Health guidelines and university health and safety regulations. The health and safety of our campus community remains our top priority.
New and expanding library services
The Library's Scan on Demand Service was launched as a pilot in the Fall of 2020 with faculty and graduate students serving as initial cohorts during the trial period. Following a review of service volume, and feedback from users, the Library expanded the service to include Undergraduates as of May 3rd, 2021.
The Library Undergraduate Research Award committee has announced this year's award winners.

Congratulations to this year's award recipients!
Faculty are encouraged to submit course reading for the Spring/Summer terms as early as possible to ensure materials are available for the start of classes in May.
The most efficient means to submit course readings is via the Library's online reserve system, available from the 'Course Readings' link on the Library homepage.
Starting Monday April 5, bookable study space for students and research appointments with the Laurier Archives are being suspended. This difficult decision was reached after thorough review of University operations under Province-wide Emergency Brake orders and in consideration of specific guidelines for libraries in the provincial regulations.
