The Leddy Library has two display cases where we showcase aspects of our collections and highlight particular events. Sometimes we lend out the use of display case; right now in our front lobby you can find a great display promoting the new University of Windsor mobile app.
Faculty and graduate students have the ability to borrow most items from the Leddy Library for a loan periods of a semester.
Books currently out on semester loan will be due on September 15th, so please be sure to either renew these items or return them to the library shortly.

The Leddy Library will be closed on Monday, August 6th, for the Civic Holiday.
We've also just updated our hours for the Fall Term.

This September about 200 students in a course on Management Information Systems will taking part of a new pilot project spearheaded by the Leddy Library.
