The U of T Scarborough Library is once again open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until May 1.
The 24/7 pilot project continues through the winter, after which administration will assess the level of use, especially at night, to determine long-term plans.
As well, the library has announced a change in its policy around beverages. Students can now bring drinks into the library, provided they are in re-usable, non-spillable containers such as travel mugs or aluminum water bottles. Everyone is urged to participate as a way to reduce your daily environmental impact. The library is calling itself "the first paper cup and bottled water free zone" at U of T Scarborough. In cooperation with the Sustainability Office on campus, the library gave away 200 high-quality travel mugs as part of the initiative to reduce waste and raise awareness of environmental issues.
