The difference you make starts here

Libraries are more than buildings — they’re engines of innovation, connection, and discovery.

With your support, we can:

Modernize library spaces for students, researchers, and learners.
Invest in digital access and preservation.
Build inclusive collections that reflect diverse voices, experiences, and perspectives.
Advance emerging technologies and remove barriers to knowledge by making information free and accessible for everyone, everywhere.
Enhance subject-focused collections and expertise in areas such as rare books, the sciences, education, Asian studies, media studies, and other dedicated disciplines.

Your generosity strengthens U of T’s mission and supports nearly 100,000 students each year. When you support the libraries, you’re not just funding books or databases. You’re investing in students, discoveries, and the future of knowledge itself.

Shaping our future, preserving the past
