This is a reminder that the Fisher Library will be closed from August 17 to September 7 in order for the staff to prepare for the upcoming academic year. We apologize for any inconvenience this will cause. We will reopen on Tuesday September 8, which is also the first day for the library's fall exhibition, Aere Perennius: The Classical Traditions of Homer, Cicero, Plutarch, and Apuleius.

If you're looking to book a class at the Fisher Library for the fall term, please consult our Teaching at the Fisher Library page.

Just remember, there is still plenty of means to conduct research using the Fisher's digital resources, including:

Books scanned and freely available at the Internet Archive.
Manuscripts and other materials, including curated collections such as the Wenceslaus Hollar Collection and The Discovery and Development of Insulin, on Collections UofT.
Past exhibition catalogues, also scanned by the Internet Archive.
All past issues of The Halcyon, the newsletter of the Friends of the Fisher Library.
There's also much video content, including past Friends of Fisher lectures and recent In Conversation events, to enjoy on the library's YouTube channel.

Please enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing all researchers and visitors when we reopen right after Labour Day!
