The reading room is open to all. Please be advised that any material you wish to consult must be requested at least 3 days in advance of your visit, via the library catalogue or by emailing rarebooks.library [at] mcgill.ca. We will not be able to accommodate walk-in patrons who have not requested material in advance.
