Toronto Reference Library Blog

Fun and Games. Here in Toronto. The Toronto 2015 Pan Am & Parapan American Games. Sports from A to Z. Forty eight sports in 17 days.

Some of us like to participate in sports; some of us just like to read about it. At the Toronto Reference Library, you can find out about "sport" itself: individual and team sports, sport history, famous and infamous athletes and coaches, the sociology and psychology of sport and more. The Toronto Reference Library collects on all aspects of sport. Today we will look at a few books.

Let's start with some basics and get an overview. Encyclopedias, for instance: 

 The sociology of sport:

The history of sports:

The history of sport in Canada:

The psychology of sport:

And one last title:

Canada's top 100 : the greatest athletes of all time!!

We hope that we've inspired you to come to the Humanities and Social Sciences Department to have a look at what we have here. Stay tuned for more posts on our Sport Collection.
