Library permanently closing on March 15, 2024
All College library services and resources will cease on March 15

This difficult decision was made after careful consideration of data showing significant decrease in library use over the years, and because many registrants are now accessing clinical resources differently with the number of self-serve digital alternatives that are available. 

New service requests will not be accepted as of March 4

We encourage you to look for alternative library services and resources during this transition period. Library staff will contact those who have recently requested specific services to update them on the status of their request.

We will do our best to support registrants through this transition. If you require assistance in finding alternative library resources or have further questions about the library’s closure, please see below for the frequently asked questions. 

We thank our library staff for their dedication to the College and for the exemplary service they provided in the library.
