About the Library
The Dr. Chun Resource Library is a space for community members and University of Toronto students to access books, magazines, and archival materials that reflect a wide variety of social justice topics including anti-capitalist and anti-colonial resistance, anti-racism, feminism, disability justice, queer and trans liberation, reproductive rights, environmentalism, and more. In particular, the library is committed to collecting unconventional and difficult-to-come-by materials that reflect the voices of our local community and the histories of resistance at UofT.

Our History
Originally opened on September 13, 2000, the Dr. Chun Resource Library began as a small collection of material amassed over the years by both OPIRG and the Centre for Women and Trans People at UofT. In 2000, Dr. Kin Yip Chun, a professor and researcher who was wrongfully denied a tenure track position at the University of Toronto after serving ten years in the Department of Physics, made a large contribution to the collection as an act of solidarity among communities struggling for social justice. The library was thus renamed the Dr. Chun Resource Library to recognize his contributions. After a temporary closure due to COVID-19 during 2020-2023, the Dr Chun Resource Library was re-opened by OPIRG in September 2024, and integrated with the newly-launched OPIRG Infoshop in 2025.
