While classes are paused next week, 23-27 March, ACU libraries remain open to students and staff, including weekends.
For your protection and that of others we ask you to practice social distancing when you visit any of our libraries.
We have made some changes to the layout of our furniture to help with this. Please don’t move tables and chairs at this time. Some group study rooms will be closed until further notice.
To help reduce the spread of the virus we are limiting the number of staff at our information desks.
We encourage you to use our self-service options to borrow books, pick up holds, etc.
Our online services are operating as normal and are available to you whether you are on or off campus.
You can chat with us 24/7 and we have increased the monitoring of our email service.
If you have never used the Library services from home, now is a good time to check them out and make sure you can sign in with off campus access.
More information about ACU’s response to COVID-19 please see the available fact sheet.
