UFH x Toronto Public Library (TPL) Card Program  

Did you know that UFH has a collaboration with the TPL where residents can request a free TPL library card, and have it delivered to their door? You can pick-up and drop off your library card registration forms at the bulletin board next to the Residence Life Centre (35 Charles St W, 2nd floor). Registration forms are brought to the library at the end of each month, and you can expect your card to be delivered within the first 2 weeks of the following month.
