Allyn and Betty Taylor Library

Allyn and Betty Taylor Library

The Allyn and Betty Taylor Library is the second-largest academic library on the University of Western Ontario campus. It is home to the one of the largest collections of scientific literature in Canada, and is Western's main science library.

Mission statement

The Allyn and Betty Taylor Library contributes to the best student experience and supports our research-intensive university by providing exceptional service and access to resources to satisfy the information needs of our community and key partners.

The layout

The library itself is six stories, however, it is laid out in a unique fashion. The main floor (M) contains the service desk, study rooms, as well as many large study tables, and is considered a "normal conversation area". The two lower floors, Ground (G), and Lower Ground (LG), contain upwards of one hundred study cubicles for quiet study, and is considered a "silent area". Both G and LG contain Taylor's collection of periodicals. There are also six floors (S1-S6), which are known collectively as "the stacks", and house the majority of the books.
