Each day new issues of the StarPhoenix and The Globe and Mail are received. Other daily newspapers from across Canada are available as well but arrive at the speed of snail mail.

Interested in news from another perspective or in another language? Check out newspapers in Spanish, French or Ukrainian or from France, India or Spain.

Where are the newspapers?

The newspapers are located adjacent to the IT4U office on the first floor of the Murray Library.
