Welcome! All of our libraries are open for the Spring 2022 semester.
In order to support the health and success of the entire ASU community, please note the following updates (which are subject to change). Get in touch with us for further information about how the library might best support you.
Visiting the library
As of March 11, 2022 physical access to university libraries is open to students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Non-ASU visitors are welcome to visit the ASU library. Reservations are required to utilize a variety of research spaces and collection centers
Face coverings are recommended
Starting March 14, 2022 face coverings are recommended but not required across campus. Signs will be placed inside buildings to note any areas where face coverings are still required, such as in health care settings. Face coverings will still be required on intercampus shuttles, per federal guidelines.
Devils' drop off locations
Devils’ drop-off is an on-campus COVID-19 saliva testing option open to all students, faculty and staff — as well as dependents of benefits-eligible ASU employees. Three ASU Library locations serve as Devil’s drop-off points:
- Hayden Library on the Tempe campus: Located inside the ground level south entrance across from the Memorial Union.
- Noble Library on the Tempe campus: located on the ground floor
- Fletcher Library on the West campus: Located just inside the ground floor entrance.
Study rooms are open
Study rooms are available in many library locations and many of them are reservable online.
Luhrs Arizona Reading Room in Hayden Library on the Tempe campus is available for reservation for quiet, individual study. Please make your reservation online and check in at the first floor information desk upon arrival for access to the reading room.
Food and drink is okay
Food and drink are permitted in all library buildings, except where otherwise indicated (such as reading rooms, audio-visual studios, etc.).
Food services are available in a few of our libraries. Hayden Library on the Tempe campus offers Charlie’s Cafe (concourse); the Bodhi Market (level 1) and the self-service POD Market (concourse). Noble Library on the Tempe campus and Fletcher Library on the West campus each feature a Starbucks location on the first floor.
Library hours
All libraries will return to normal hours of operation for the Spring 2022 semester beginning Monday, Jan. 10. Hayden Library will be open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Check library hours before your visit.
Reservation required for Makerspace
The Makerspace on the third floor of Hayden Library still requires an advanced reservation due to space capacity limits.
