Thanks to a collaboration with the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, you now have more choices in what you read! Although the books come from the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, you check them out and return them to the Service Desk in Robertson Library. Use your UPEI Campus Card to sign out books. Books may be borrowed for 28 days. Every two months, there will be a new selection of approximately 75 current, popular reading materials.
