As we push to reach renovation milestones over the winter, Olin and Kroch Libraries will close 6 p.m., Dec. 20, and reopen 8 a.m., Jan. 6. Rare and Manuscript Collections in Kroch Library will close at 5 p.m. on Dec. 20 and reopen 9 a.m., Jan. 13.

Good news for our patrons: During Dec. 20–24 and Jan. 2–5 (right before and after Cornell’s regular winter closure), they can request books from the stacks through the online library catalog for contactless pickup in Uris Library; and those with carrels or research spaces can be escorted to retrieve their materials by emailing libpublicservices@cornell.edu or by stopping by Uris Library’s checkout desk.

Important info for Library staff members: You can enter Olin via card swipe, except for when the whole campus is closed for winter break, Dec. 25–Jan. 1.
