Starting tomorrow, Thursday, November 19, swipe access to the Library will begin at 7:30am. We hope that this helps students who need extra time to study or who are taking 8am finals and need a place for their exams. Students can swipe in daily, between 7:30am and 1:30am.

Summer 2020 Borrowing Prodedure
Hello!
We’ve missed you and though we’d love to see you all in person again, it’s just not possible at this time to allow patrons inside the building. Some Library Faculty and Staff have returned to working part-time in the Library building. Currently, Circulation Services Staff are working staggered hours and will be here to assist you during these hours:
Monday through Thursday, 8am – 7pm and Friday, 8am – 4:30pm
If you would like to borrow from the Circulating Collection or from Media, simply ‘place a hold’ on the item(s) you would like to borrow from our catalog. Your items will be selected, packaged and labeled with your name. They will be placed on a table in the foyer. You will be notified when your item(s) are available for pickup. You may pick up your items during the hours listed above.
For further assistance, you can contact us at 570-941-7524 or circulation@scranton.edu.
Thank you for your patience as we learn to continue providing our services as safely as possible!
Library Support and Hours Update
Starting Tuesday, March 18, the Library will be closed. Students, faculty and staff can still swipe in to the first and second floor.
Although the library will not be staffed during the University campus closure, assistance will be available from our Library Faculty remotely Monday thru Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. All other times, questions will be answered by librarians at other Universities in our consortia.
On the library webpage (library.scranton.edu) there is an icon for library services spring 2020, which goes into more depth, but here is how to reach us:
- VIRTUAL CHAT:
Use the Ask a Librarian chatbox on this page to talk to a librarian 24 hours a day.
- PHONE:
Please call 570-941-4000 to talk to one of the librarians during regular library hours. If no one answers, please leave a voicemail and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
- EMAIL:
Please use the other options first, but you can also email askalibrarian@scranton.edu.
- CONSULTATIONS:
The librarians will still offer consultations through various communication platforms (e.g., Zoom), but please reach out through virtual chat, phone, or email first to schedule a consultation time and determine which platform will work best for your individual needs.
For problems with accessing any resources please e-mail library-systems@scranton.edu.
