Whether you&#8217;re stopping by for a few minutes or spending the afternoon with us, you&#8217;re always welcome! With the exception of the Birks Library, all of our libraries are designated cooling spots this summer. Check out our opening hours and locations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/libraries\/locations\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s more to do than just cool off! Browse the shelves and discover your next favourite read, use the Wi-Fi, or simply relax in a quiet space. Drop by the Schulich Library to browse our Wendy Patrick Collection of consumer health materials or kick back with a free magazine. No library card is required to come in and enjoy the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/schulich\/files\/2026\/07\/IMG_7594-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, we&#8217;re also featuring a <a href=\"https:\/\/mcgill.on.worldcat.org\/list\/5043234214586073877\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mcgill.on.worldcat.org\/list\/5043234214586073877\">collection of books<\/a> on managing eco-anxiety, climate change, and environmental resilience.
