Cushing Library Services Update During COVID-19

To ensure the health and safety of all students, staff, and faculty while preserving the continuity of education and research, the library is maintaining measures aimed at COVID-19 mitigation during the 2022-23 school year.

For yours and everyone's safety, it is highly recommended that all users: 

  • Wear masks properly (over nose and mouth). 
  • Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer. Sanitizing wipes are available at the front desk.

Eating and drinking in the library building is still not allowed.

Seat reservations are no longer required, but group study rooms remain closed to use by patrons.
