How is Taylor University responding to COVID-19 and what is the plan for Fall 2020?
While our building is open and we welcome you to come in to browse and use our resources, we will continue to provide access to library materials through the pick-up service we initiated over the summer. The process is outlined below for our patrons who desire minimal-contact.
Complete a Form. Materials may be requested using this form (one item per form). Please complete the Title, Author, and Call # fields as this will greatly reduce staff time needed to pull the material from the shelves.
Scheduled Pick-Up. You may pick up your materials anytime the Library is open (see Library Hours). Library staff will email you when your request is ready for pick-up or if there are any issues.
Pick-Up Location. The pick-up location is at the Library's Check Out Desk. Your requested material will be available for pickup for five days, and if you do not retrieve it, it will then be checked in and reshelved.
Returning Materials. Please return books to the Check Out Desk, in the tan Book Return bin located outside the north entrance (near the Bell Tower), or in the Book Return located in the south entrance vestibule. If you have equipment or DVDs to return, these cannot be returned through the Book Returns and must be returned to the Check Out Desk.
Email CheckOutDesk@taylor.edu with questions on any part of this process.
