The current emphasis of the collection is on Black Canadian and Caribbean literature, history, and culture. Other materials in the collection examine, describe, or depict the experiences of Black people in general, including African literature, and Afro-American materials.
The collection continues to grow, containing recreational reading for all ages as well as study and research resources. The collection is consulted by students at all levels of education, by authors researching a particular topic or person, by parents and teachers, as well as by the casual browser.
Staff are available throughout library open hours to assist visitors using the collection, and welcome inquiries by phone, letter, or fax, and via the Email Librarian.
