Back to school with U of T Libraries
Applications open: Library Student Advisory Committee (LSAC)
If you are a University of Toronto student passionate about making an impact to the wider student community’s needs through collaboration and leadership, the Library Student Advisory Committee (LSAC) is the opportunity for you! The University of Toronto Libraries (LSAC) serves to involve students in actively shaping the services and programs at the libraries through recommendations and feedback. All students (undergraduate and graduate) are welcome to apply regardless of the level of familiarity with the libraries. The LSAC form will remain open for applications until September 20.
Candidates who are members of Indigenous, Black, racialized and 2SLGBTQ+ communities, persons with disabilities, and other equity deserving groups are encouraged to apply. Please email library.engagement@utoronto.ca if you have any questions about the LSAC.

Make a new friend to explore the libraries with: Library Link application form
Welcome to the fun Library Link community – open to all students! In this social program that runs from September to April, we pair you with another student who is excited to explore the Libraries and campus life the same way as you! After all, campus is vast and we have 38 libraries at U of T St. George – best to take a buddy along for all things library and to meet a fun friend you wouldn’t normally encounter in your day to day at U of T!
All you have to do is fill in the Library Link application form to share information about yourself and what your preferences are from a match, and we will connect you both. You will be sent a monthly list of social events at the libraries to attend with your Library Link match + we have one social event for every semester to help you thrive and connect with the community. You will also be invited to register for the Library Link Kickoff Party (happening October 3) to meet other students over food, fun and games! Start your year on a high note.
