The Laurier Library is releasing a compilation video called Love in the Time of COVID featuring creative submissions from more than 20 local arts organizations.
The video will be available free of charge on the Laurier YouTube channel on Thursday, November 19th.
Captioned video will be provided for the Deaf and hard of hearing, and an audio described video will be provided for viewers who are blind or experiencing sight loss.
We are pleased to announce that on Monday November 9, faculty, students and staff will again be able to request and borrow books and other materials from the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo in Omni.
Due to logistics and delivery requirements between universities, requested items may take longer to arrive than in the past. You will continue to receive item pick up availability notices from Omni when your item is ready.
The Laurier Library is piloting a new Scan on Demand service which will provide users with the ability to request digital scans from books or journals from the Library’s print collection on Waterloo campus at this time.
This service is being made available initially to Laurier faculty and Graduate students during the Fall 2020 semester as part of a pilot project starting October 20. Expansion of the service will be planned based on pilot outcomes.
Laurier Library is now providing appointments for bookable study space for students at our Waterloo campus library. This service is currently only available for Laurier students.
The Library has 35 study spaces available on a rotating half-day basis, including:
Book your appointment for study space online through the University’s Eventbrite system.
Laurier Archives is launching a service for booking appointments for consultation of our research collections. This service will start on Wednesday October 14 and is currently only available for Laurier faculty, students, and staff.
During the Fall 2020 term, the Library and the Robert Langen Art Gallery are teaming up with the Lotus Meditation Centre to offer a series of free-guided meditation sessions delivered live on Zoom.
Two experienced meditation practitioners, Vani and Kris, will guide us through simple breathing and chanting techniques for relaxation. Perfect for beginners and those needing a short break to recharge and refocus.
