To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of the campus, Butler Library has instituted several changes. Our librarians, staff, and online resources are ready to support your learning, teaching, and research needs virtually.

All updates are posted to the library's COVID-19 page.

What has changed?

• Due dates for anything currently checked out, including laptops, have been extended to May 15. Please disregard any overdue notices.
• We encourage users with current loans to hold on to checked-out items.
