The Library is happy to welcome back everyone this summer by phasing in expanded hours and increased access to services, spaces and materials. Most on-site services have resumed, with changes noted in this guide. If you have any questions, please Ask a Librarian for help.
We are a mask friendly library out of concern and care for our fellow students and colleagues. Fully vaccinated individuals are highly encouraged—though not required—to wear a face mask while in the Library. Individuals who have not been vaccinated are expected to wear a mask at all times. Masks may be required regardless of vaccination status for some in-person services, e.g., working in close proximity to staff for extended periods of time.
No food will be permitted in the Library during this time; Drinks are allowed as long as they have a cover.
