Library Event

The Library's catalogue https://islandpines.roblib.upei.ca/eg/opac/home will be unavailable Tuesday, June 18 to allow for a software upgrade.

Classes are over, and you just have to make it through exams! The library is here to help, and not just with books and research advice. Every day between April 11th and April 21st, we'll provide some sort of treat, craft, or activity to give your brain a break. Follow @RobertsonLibrary on Instagram and Facebook so you never miss a Pop-Up Surprise.

We'll also be transforming the library lounge into the Stress-Free Zone for the duration of exams. Relax with colouring pages, yarn, origami, and so much more! 

Good luck on your finals!
