In an effort to limit the number of people on campus, Humber Libraries and Learning Commons locations are closed.

During this time, we offer many online services to students and faculty.

Did you know? Studies have shown that students who use library resources and library help do better on research assignments. 

• The Library’s Discover search connects researchers with millions of credible sources 
• Video Tutorials and Research Guides provide self-led research guidance and instruction 
• Need Help? Ask Us! Research Help is available via the Chat with Us button (bottom right hand of library website) from 6 am – Midnight; Email and Appointment-based help are also available 
   

The Interlibrary Loan service brings other libraries to you. If we don’t have the book or article you’re looking for, we can approach another library on your behalf.

The ILL service supports the research and teaching needs of the Humber community by providing access to materials not held by Humber Libraries. The ILL service is available free of charge to current students, faculty and staff.

You can also find the ILL page under the Services menu.

Welcome to our celebration of Islamic History Month. In Canada, October is the month in which we shine a light on the contributions of Muslims and Muslim Canadians. This week we are focusing on literature.  
 
Set in war-torn Iraq in 2003, God in Pink by Hasan Namir is a revelatory novel about being queer and Muslim. In 2016 Hasan Namir won the Lambda Literary Award in the Gay Fiction category.
 
Six Metres of Pavement by Toronto author Farzana Doctor won the Lambda Literary Award in 2012 for Lesbian Fiction and won Brampton Library's One Book, One Brampton award. 
 
We Have Always Been Here, the 2020 Canada Reads award winner, is a memoir by Samra Habib. Habib tells her story of coming out as a queer Muslim. The review from Booklist claims the book “. . . begs readers to embrace radical, unavoidable, beautiful change in themselves and those around them, and to know that it will always lead them closer to their truest selves.” 
 
This post brings to a close our celebration of Islamic History Month in Canada. It is our hope this series created new perspectives on Islam and the Canadian identity.
