    • Please keep in mind that our Reading Room hours during the academic year are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, unless otherwise blocked off in the calendar, and appointments cannot be made on the same day through the online portal. Our summer hours are 1:00 p.m. to to 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday.
