As of Summer 2022, the Anthropology Library will operate as a study hall only location.
Due to the Library's serious budget and staffing crisis, we are not able to offer the full suite of Library services in the Anthropology Library at this time. We will no longer offer any library checkout services. The library will be open from 1-5, M-F, for study and collection browsing. The service desk will be staffed by a study hall monitor from the Anthropology Department. We will still have public computers for use at this location. The nearest circulation desk is at Environmental Design Library next door in Bauer Wurster Hall, which will continue to offer library services. Learn more about our online services and resources, and see our study hall hours on the Anthropology Library website.
