Effective May 24, 2021, study space reservations will no longer be needed to enter Mullen Library.
Mullen Library will be open to all who have a current CU ID. In accordance with DC and campus guidelines to protect themselves and those in our community who are unable to receive the vaccine, those who have not been vaccinated should continue to wear a mask at all times.
Library in-person services and schedules will be increasing throughout the summer as we hire and train more student employees. At the beginning of the summer, reservations will still be required to enter Mullen. The Stacks will open for browsing on Monday, May 17. While our circulation staff is still focusing on remote delivery of materials and contactless book pickup, to borrow books from the Stacks you may either use the self-check machine located in the lobby or leave books in bags provided at the circulation desk to be charged out and picked up at a later scheduled time. The current status of all library services can be found in our Libraries COVID-19 Information Guide.
Beginning Monday, April 5, reserving a study space in Mullen Library will be easier, and the library will no longer be closing during the day for cleaning. Frequent disinfecting of all common, high-contact surfaces will be on-going throughout the day. Reservations will be available for all hours that Mullen Library is open. There will be no limitation to how many hours you may reserve, but please be courteous to other students and only schedule for times you realistically expect to use. Library users will be required to submit a reservation request at least 2 hours in advance of their selected time and reservations can be made 10 days in advance.

To be consistent with the quarantine phase for returning students, Mullen Library will be closed for study from January 25 to February 7. Book pickup and other remote services will continue.
The Mullen Library book drop at the rear of the library has been moved to the north rear entrance, closest to the Pryzbyla Center. Books may be returned there 24/7.
Repair of the water main break on the north side of Mullen Library is taking longer than anticipated. At this time, we do not know if we will have any water in the building on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. If you have made a study space reservation for tomorrow or plan to do that, consider this information and re-schedule if you are uncomfortable being in the building without access to water.
Book pickup is not affected.
We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Due to a water main break on the north side of Mullen Library, the library will be without water on Tuesday, January 5, 2021. For this reason, study space reservations are unavailable for that day. Book pickup, however, will still be available.
Repairs are expected to be completed by close of business on January 5.
Beginning Monday, November 30, curbside pick-up becomes book pick-up and moves from the back of Mullen Library to inside its front doors. Library borrowers will still need to follow the instructions in the Libraries COVID-19 Information Guide to request a specific book(s) and schedule a pick-up time, but we anticipate that this change will save staff time and enable us to fill more requests.
Book pick-up hours from November 30 through the end of the semester will be M-F, 11 AM – 1 PM and M, W, F, 3 – 4 PM.
Library borrowers will enter the library wearing a face mask. They will show their CU ID to the guard at the Welcome Desk and be directed to the opposite side of the Welcome Desk where they will pick-up their bagged item(s) and exit the library.
The University Libraries has made the following adjustments to our curbside pickup and study space reservations to accommodate more of the university community:
Effective immediately, curbside pickup hours have been expanded. Once a library patron receives notification that an item is available for pickup, he/she may schedule pickup between the hours of 10 am-noon, M-F and between the hours of 4-5, M, W, and F.
Effective, October 13, the hours that study spaces may be reserved have been adjusted to 11-1, 2-4, and 5-7, M-F. The gap hour between reservations is for sanitizing the study spaces. Library users may reserve two time slots per day for a total of 4 hours, but must exit the building after each time slot. All library users will be required to submit a reservation request at least 12 hours in advance of the selected reservation time.
Through April 9, the University Libraries has a trial of Medici.tv, the largest online catalog of classical music, opera, and dance videos, including 3,500 musical works from the 1940s to the present day, 2,500 films (concerts, operas, ballets, documentaries, and master classes), and editorial content including synopses, casts, and performers’ biographies. Take a look and enjoy!
