ABOUT INNIS LIBRARY

Location & Hours

When the library physically re-opens in its new wing-wing location, it will be a bright, accessible, and helpful hub that brings together numerous student services. Until then, our librarian, Kate, can support your research needs online. 

You’ll find the Innis College Library conveniently located right inside the College. It’s a perfect multi-level space to study, or get research help with your latest term paper or assignment.

Location

Please be aware that Innis College Library is physically closed until late 2026, as the college’s east-wing roof gets replaced (Summer 2026) and the west wing undergoes extensive renovation (ongoing).

During this time, the print collection is not accessible, but research help from our librarian, Kate, is available. Book a research consultation on this page.

The library will physically reopen in its new west-wing location when the College’s Renewal & Expansion project is complete. Follow the renovation progress on this page.

April 2 is the last day to return print materials directly to Innis College Library. As of April 3, materials can be returned to any other on-campus library book drop, including Robarts Library.

We are located at 2 Sussex Avenue, on the second floor, east wing of Innis College (closest to St. George Street and just above the Innis College Registrar’s Office). Get directions to Innis College.
