Michael Schwartz Library
About the Library
Welcome - we're so glad you're here!
Our building is open this semester Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm. Your librarians are available to help in person, via phone, chat, text, or zoom.
We are prioritizing some of our most in-demand library services, including quiet study space and contactless book pick-up for OhioLINK and other library materials, to help you prepare for the semester ahead. This page will be updated continually to provide information as we resume normal services and make more of our materials available.
- During Summer semester 2021, access to our building is limited to current CSU students, faculty and staff.
- Your Viking Card is required for swipe access, and only the 1st and 2nd floors are open.
- New health & safety /distancing protocols are in place campus-wide for Summer and Fall 2021. We encourage you to review and observe them to prevent spread of the virus.
