===Library=== [[File:Munk Centre for International Studies.JPG|thumb|Trinity's John W. Graham Library]] Trinity's John W. Graham Library traces its origins to 1828, when John Strachan secured a collection of some four hundred books from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge to stock the library of the fledgling King's College. When Trinity moved to its present-day location on Hoskin Avenue, the library was initially housed in the basement of the main building. In 2000, the library moved into the east wing of the Devonshire House, a heritage building purpose-renovated for the library, alongside the [[Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy]]. Also in 2000, Wycliffe College's theological collection merged with the Trinity library, which was renamed after Toronto lawyer and Anglican churchman John W. Graham (also father of Canadian entrepreneur Ted Rogers).<ref name="auto3">{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/library/about/history/|title=History}}</ref> Trinity's library contains some 200,000 volumes, computing resources, and approximately 200 study spaces. The Library primarily serves Trinity's undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts and Science and the graduate Divinity students and faculty of Trinity and Wycliffe Colleges, as well as the Munk School and Anglican Church communities. Subject strengths reflect Trinity's academic programs and interests: international relations, ethics, English literature, philosophy, theology, Anglican church history, and biblical studies.<ref name="auto3"/> All Trinity students also have access to the other libraries of the [[University of Toronto Libraries]] system. The Trinity College Friends of the Library promotes the expansion and well-being of the Graham Library. Each year, the Friends put on a book sale in Trinity's Seeley Hall. The book sale attracts visitors from across the continent, and is considered one of Toronto's best.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://nationalpost.com/news/toronto/toronto-volunteers-shocked-to-find-1933-edition-of-hitlers-manifesto-mein-kampf-among-donated-books|title=Toronto volunteers shocked to find 1933 edition of Hitler's manifesto, Mein Kampf, among donated books|website=National Post|date=25 January 2015 |last1=Kuitenbrouwer |first1=Peter }}</ref> The book sale routinely raises over $100,000 for the Library.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/library/about/friends-of-the-library/|title=Friends of the Library}}</ref>
