Old textbooks
Dear Scarby, Where can I donate old textbooks? - Generous Soul
Dear Generous,
What a nice idea! The UTSC Library partners with a not-for-profit organization called Textbooks for Change by hosting a dropbox in the library. You can find this dropbox on the right-hand side of the Reading Room, which is directly behind the main Info Desk when you enter the library. Thanks for thinking of others!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog

Finding a book
Dear Scarby, How do I search for a book? - Searching Student
Dear Searching,
Most searches start by using the everything search, which is that search bar on the UTSC Library homepage. If you know the title of the book, type in the title in quotes: "Alice in Wonderland"
If you're looking for a book on a subject, type in your subject. It might be modern dance or violence in 1990s movies.
If you get stuck, come to the Info Desk in the library and we'll be happy to help!
Yours Truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
