Library

Did you know that the James A. Gibson Library has over 670,000 books, 56,000 maps, and 26,000 sound recordings and videos?

Did you also know that Brock graduates are welcomed to use the Brock Library facilities free?
 
In 2006 the Brock University Alumni Association successfully formed an agreement with the James A. Gibson Library to offer complimentary borrowing privileges to Brock graduates on an on-going basis. Access does not include the reserve collection or electronic databases due to the restrictive licensing agreements. Inter-library loan privileges are available at a fee of $50 per annum and other library services for alumni are constantly being investigated.  
 
An Alumni Card is required to take advantage of these services.  If you require a new Alumni Card, please e-mail alumni@brocku.ca or call 905-688-5550 ext. 3816

For more information, go to the James A. Gibson Library Website.
