A series of improvements to Richter Library’s facilities are underway. These include much needed enhancements to services and furnishings in the student study areas, replacement of entry turnstiles, and a crucial renovation of the library’s collections processing and maintenance areas on the third floor.
Although the renovations may lead to higher noise levels on Richter’s main floors, quiet work spaces will continue to be accessible in the stacks (floors 4-7 and 9) as well as the reading rooms in Special Collections (8th floor) and the Cuban Heritage Collection (2nd floor). Computers, laptops, and tablets are welcome in all of these spaces. However, please be aware that since both reading rooms hold distinctive collections, they have a “pencils only” writing policy, and food or beverages are not permitted.
If you are having difficulty locating a quiet work space, please visit Access Services (at the library’s entrance) for further assistance. We appreciate your patience this summer as we update our facilities, and look forward to an improved library experience for all.
