As of Tuesday, September 8th we are open:

Here are 10 facts about the music library:

We have two floors! Books and periodicals (main floor); printed music (downstairs)
Get help finding repertoire or with library research!
- Drop In: Ask for help at the service desk. All our fulltime and student staff have extensive musical training.
- Email us: This page lists all our staff and their contact information. Please reach out, we’ll be glad to help!
- Book a Research Consultation: Book a 30 min. appointment with our experienced staff.
Sound recordings: we have all the CDs (80,000+), LPs (100,000+), and streaming audio
Equipment for loan: all kinds of chargers, headphones, and tons of bookable tech like cameras, tripods, high-end mics and podcasting kits!
We have archival collections and rare books! Contact the archivist r.shaw@utoronto.ca.
There is lots of study space, whether you like big tables, individual carrels, or a group study room!
We have 9 computers on the main floor. Log in with your UTORid to work on your assignments and leave your laptop at home.
Copying and printing is $0.15/page. Scanning is free (bring a USB drive or borrow one of ours).
Too much time in the gloomy practice room? Try one of two light therapy lamps on the main floor.
Tired of the same old, same old? We have research guides to lead you in new directions such as our Guide to BIPOC Musicians and Related Literature and Sustainability in the Music Library guides.
