Beginning today, and continuing until the end of next week we will be making some changes to the shelves on the second floor of Stauffer Library. We are working to keep disruptions to a minimum, but there will be some construction noise until the end of next week. For those looking for silent study, we would recommend that you consider making use of some of our other great Library spaces. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we make changes to serve you better.

For more information on the Library and Archives Master Plan, please see the LAMP website.

The Union Gallery will be hosting a poetry reading on October 1st, 2016 as part of Culture Days and in conjunction with Kingston WritersFest. The gallery invites student and emerging young poets to apply.

Selected poets will be invited to participate in the event at the Union Gallery in Stauffer Library on October 1st from 4:30-6pm. Poets will have approximately five minutes to perform their piece. Members of the public are invited to attend this free poetry reading.

Please visit their website for more details, including submission guidelines.

We are pleased to share with you the launch of our new website. After months of planning and hard work, we are delighted to announce the official launch on July 27, 2016!

Our goal with this new website is to provide our visitors with the same great services and resources, through a more modern, accessible, and mobile-friendly site.

Beginning on July 27 2016, you will find the new website at our current location at library.queensu.ca.

Submissions are now being accepted for the Union Gallery Fall 2016 silent auction: REIMAGINED. Please visit their fundraising page for more information.

We have been very busy these last months building the new website. As we prepare to announce our launch date (coming soon!), we would like to share some designs with you. It was quite a task to come up with a design that fit in well with the Queen’s landscape and also suited our needs here at the Library. We are quite pleased with the end result. A big thank you to all the participants and collaborators in this process – we couldn’t have done it without your help.
