    As of Monday, August 16, the Homer Babbidge will be open to the public with limited hours and services. Those hours include:

    August 16 – September 5,  2021
         Monday - Thursday: 7:30am – 10:00pm
         Friday: 7:30am-5:00pm

    We will return to regular academic hours after Labor Day.

    Public spaces, including access to materials in the stacks and all floors of study space, will be available. In order to comply with copyright laws, we have ending the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) program, which provided electronic access to print books from our collections.

    We will continue to take precautions within our facilities to keep you safe by enforcing masking mandates, providing materials for surface cleaning, and responding quickly to changes in hours and service levels when needed. If closures are necessary, we will announce them broadly on our social media (Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook) and on our website. 

    Our regional campus libraries and the Pharmacy Library, Music and Dramatic Art Library, and Archives & Special Collections on the Storrs campus will open with the start of the semester on August 30.
