  • 2024-10-24: The service desk will likely be subject to intermittent and unexpected closures over the next few weeks. While this is due to circumstances that are entirely out of our control, we sincerely apologize for these disruptions and acknowledge that they may inconvenience you. To avoid any potential stressful situations, we encourage you to plan ahead if you need the service desk. You can also email us at biblio@ustpaul.ca. Thank you for your cooperation.
