If you picked mostly A’s…
You’re Graham Library! Like Graham, you have a warm and hospitable energy that draws people in. You’re very trusting, sometimes to a fault, and you’re loyal to your loved ones. You’re not the most extroverted person, but you love spending time with your close-knit group of friends. You also might be haunted by the spirit of a Trinity College ghost that resides inside you, but that’s just par for the course.
If you picked mostly B’s…
You’re Emmanuel Library! You’re a quick learner and a clever student, but you can also be a smidge pretentious. You’re a dreamer and a romantic, and you have an idealistic view of the world. You definitely have a Letterboxd account and keep a book in your tote bag that you’ve never read – how long has it been, two years now?
If you picked mostly C’s…
You’re Robarts Library! You’re level-headed with a Type A personality. People think you’re intimidating when they first meet you, just like our famous peacock-shaped building on St. George Street, but you’re really not all that scary when you shed your cold exterior. Like Robarts, you have a lot to offer to others, whether it be a vast expanse of knowledge or just a space to cry.
If you picked mostly D’s…
You’re Hart House Library! Like Hart House, you’re creative and fun, and you have a lot of artistic interests. You’re probably involved with a newspaper, literary journal, or theatre group on campus. There’s an 80 percent chance you’ve had a crisis about your current major in the past week and have seriously considered one of the following: graduate school (even though you don’t want to be an academic), law school (even though you don’t want to be a lawyer), or a septum piercing.
If you picked mostly E’s…
You’re Kelly Library! You’re a little creepy and off-putting, but you never really get any flack for it because you’re not on everyone’s radar like Robarts. You’re likely always tucked away in a corner of campus somewhere, doing whatever you do. Such is the beauty of the University of Toronto Libraries and humanity itself – there really is a library (and a person) for everyone!
