The primary mission of the Library is to support the academic needs of Concordia's students, faculty, and staff. Ensuring that the Library is a safe and effective space for Concordia's students, faculty, and staff is our first priority. While we generally welcome members of the public to use the Library space, some spaces and services are only available to members of the Concordia community and its affiliated organizations.
