Cafe & North Side Progress

Have you had an opportunity to walk along College Avenue to view progress being made on the library cafe and north side of the building? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and the perfect time for a stroll.  Here are a few photos of the progress being made on the cafe and north side of Archer Library.

Yes! We are open.

A temporary construction wall is now in place on the main floor. When you enter the library, turn left to access the elevators and library services, collections, offices, and the Center for Academic Support (7th floor). Remember, visitors should use the main doors to enter and exit the library building.

Library services located on the ground floor include: circulation, OhioLINK, and interlibrary loan; reference, technical services, and acquisitions; and an inside book return.  The after hours book return is located next to the library's brown loading dock doors, across from the Chapel.
