The Library is not open, as of March 18, 2020. NSCAD Campus access is limited to all but essential personnel. Library staff are now working remotely to support as many requests and services that are possible during the closure.

One option we are looking at is having a designated pickup time. If you have questions about borrowing books please contact Rebecca Young, Director of the Library at ryoung@nscad.ca
You can no longer return your books or other borrowed items. The good news is that there will be no overdue fines and your loan period will be extended to September 30, 2020.
Extended loans to September 30 2020 will be provided for all loans during this period of time except for:
