Library
Libraries aren’t just big buildings filled with books. At Queen’s, the library is where you live – in your home, in the classroom and yes, in big buildings.
Queen’s has six libraries on campus and countless other ways to access the information you’ll need for your studies, including online journals, databases and e-books that you can use wherever you are.
Plus, there are always people to help you find what you need, even if you’re not sure exactly what that is. While our collections are extensive, library services support the learning experience at Queen’s and help our students succeed. The Queen’s Learning Commons provides writing, learning, and technical skills support, as well as a place to meet and study.
