How does the Library to Go service work?

Library staff will deliver materials from E.S. Bird Library and the Science and Technology Library and all its branches to main campus department offices. Items will be delivered within 24 hours of the request, Monday through Friday. Requests placed on Friday will be filled the following Monday. Deliveries will not be made when the University is closed during holidays or school vacations. We regret that we are unable to deliver items from the Law Library, Maritin Luther King, Jr. Library or Moon Library, which are separately administered.
