We're reopening soon!

Starting August 2, the Main Library and Weaver Library will be open to everyone, including the public. We're looking forward to seeing you. Check out our plans.

Locate books and other materials

Access to our shelves in some locations are limited due to COVID-19. We recommend using our express retrieval service.

Finding materials

Most library materials are organized by call number, but some formats and collections are kept together. Find the location in library search.

You can also use express retrieval and we'll put it on the hold shelf for you.
