Your personal spot also comes equipped with electrical outlets so don’t forget to bring your laptop.

Dedicated to serving the needs of all members of the Trent University Oshawa community, the library will be a full-service operation. Whether you are looking for that certain book for a course project or having an issue with the computers, full-time professional staff will be on hand to offer you guidance and support whenever you need it. Printing, copying and scanning facilities will also be available.

Taking full advantage of the wireless world we live in today, the library also gives you electronic access to books in the Trent library collection in Peterborough, as well as onsite and remote access to over 500,000 electronic books and articles from over 30,000 journals.
