Do you love the Kelly Library? Join our John M. Kelly Library Undergraduate Student Advisory Council! You’ll have the opportunity to improve Kelly’s services for students and give direct feedback to the library. LSAC meets once per semester.
What We’ll Talk About
Contribute your voice to library programs and initiatives. We want to know what you think makes a library great. Topics for discussion could include new programs, library spaces, hours of operations, web and social media presence, and more. Your feedback will be shared with the Chief Librarian.
How It Works
We’ll meet twice a year on Friday, November 7, 2025 from 11:30am-1pm and Friday, March 13, 2026 from 11:30am-1pm. Pizza and refreshments will be provided. Meetings are casual, and you don’t need to prepare anything. We may also reach out to you by email throughout the year for quick feedback on library initiatives. For more information, see our Terms of Reference.
Why Join?
Contribute directly to library discussions and make your voice heard. We will also invite you to choose a book for the Kelly Library collections (subject to librarian discretion). As an additional thank you, all Council members will receive a gift card to the Campus Bookstore.
Who Can Apply?
Any undergraduate student enrolled at St. Mike’s or in a St. Mike’s program may apply. UofT undergraduate students who are not otherwise affiliated with St. Mike’s but who regularly use Kelly Library are also invited to apply. The Library encourages participation on the Council by racialized persons / persons of colour, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, international students, persons who identify as LBGTQ2SIA+, and others who will contribute to the further diversification of ideas. A total of eight students will be selected to participate in the Council.
