The Library building is open to all visitors to browse the collections, check out materials, use computers, create in The Studio and as a place to work and study. Due to the COVID-19 virus, we continue to monitor building capacity and ask that visitors take the following precautions when visiting:

We ask that you follow the below guidelines regarding masks:
