Do you have to swipe your student card to get into a University of Toronto library?

can a non-student get in?

It depends on the library. At Robarts, you can get in the doors, but not into the stacks. To get into the stacks you need to be a UofT student, alumni, or a visiting scholar, that is, faculty or graduate student at another university. The public can access the collections, but not directly.

The college libraries are more easy going and set their own rules. Check the individual library’s policy to see. Below is a link to the library listing.
