Borrow books from our print collection with our Grab & Go service. For the Fall semester, books will be available for scheduled pick-ups from September 21 to December 11.

To use the service, search our online catalogue and place books you would like to borrow on hold. Once your hold is ready, you will receive an email to confirm a pick-up date and time. Please DO NOT book a pick-up appointment until you have received your confirmation email. Your requested item(s) may still be on loan to another user or not yet available at your selected pick-up location.

For everyone's safety, pick-ups are only available by appointment.

To return currently borrowed items, use our online booking system to select your date and time. All returned items are quarantined for 96 hours before we remove them from your account. 

When you arrive for your appointment to pick-up or return items, you will need your myCard. To enter the building, you must wear a mask and have completed the one-time Mandatory Training Course for Campus Re-entry on eCentennial and the COVID-19 Pre-Screening Assessment on the Campus Safety app. 

If you need help finding the right books, require accommodation, are an alumnus or alumna, or have any other questions about the Grab & Go service, contact the Library.
