October is Canadian Library Month! Ontario celebrates our public libraries during Ontario Public Library Week (OPLW) from October 16 to 22, 2016!
The CAMH Library would like give a shout out to our fellow public library partners in the community! Public libraries are great sources for consumer health information—in both print and online formats. See below for a quick list of links to some public libraries in Ontario
Residents of Ontario can also request print CAMH Library books through their public library’s interlibrary loan services
