This fall, the University of Toronto Libraries invites students to participate in our new Library Passport program — a self-directed challenge designed to encourage exploration, reflection, and discovery throughout our library system.

Beginning in September 2025, you can collect a Library Passport by attending key orientation events and speaking with library staff. The Library Passport is your guide to visiting different libraries, trying new study spaces and reflecting on the experience along the way. Each passport includes a dedicated space to jot down your thoughts about each library – no check-ins or stamps required.

Completing your passport can be done entirely at your own pace and in your own time.

Passports are available free of charge but in limited quantities at select student engagement and orientation events. This is a pilot program, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Whether you’re a new student or returning for another year, the Library Passport is an easy and fun way to explore campus libraries at your own pace.
