The University of Toronto Scarborough Library (or UTSC Library), part of the University of Toronto Libraries system, is the main campus library of the University of Toronto Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Located on the ground floor of the Academic Resource Centre (ARC), it is the largest and primary library on the campus, with a collection of over 400,000 volumes in print, journals, audio, and film.
The Scarborough campus was originally opened as Scarborough College in 1964, and originally did not have its own library. It originally used a small space in the Science Wing to store a small collection, and the college had a total student enrolment of around 200.[1] The college grew out of the space, and students raised $400,000 for the construction of a proper library in 1978. This led to the opening of the Vincent W. Bladen Library in 1982. However, as the campus continued to expand, more space was needed, and the current UTSC Library was established in the Academic Resource Centre in 2003.[2]
