The Laurier Library is piloting a new Scan on Demand service which will provide users with the ability to request digital scans from books or journals from the Library’s print collection on Waterloo campus at this time.
This service is being made available initially to Laurier faculty and Graduate students during the Fall 2020 semester as part of a pilot project starting October 20. Expansion of the service will be planned based on pilot outcomes.
Laurier Library is now providing appointments for bookable study space for students at our Waterloo campus library. This service is currently only available for Laurier students.
The Library has 35 study spaces available on a rotating half-day basis, including:
Book your appointment for study space online through the University’s Eventbrite system.
Laurier Archives is launching a service for booking appointments for consultation of our research collections. This service will start on Wednesday October 14 and is currently only available for Laurier faculty, students, and staff.
During the Fall 2020 term, the Library and the Robert Langen Art Gallery are teaming up with the Lotus Meditation Centre to offer a series of free-guided meditation sessions delivered live on Zoom.
Two experienced meditation practitioners, Vani and Kris, will guide us through simple breathing and chanting techniques for relaxation. Perfect for beginners and those needing a short break to recharge and refocus.
For Library users who have Laurier Library books signed out that were due back on September 10, your books have been automatically renewed and are now due on January 8, 2021. No additional action is required on your part.

This service will provide access to more than 300,000 print books and materials that have been digitized by HathiTrust and are also held by Laurier.
