Return to Campus

Beginning on August 24th, the Library will re-open to students for limited services to support learning in the Fall semester.  Even though we will be back, things will look a little different, feel a little different, and work a little differently.

The Library will be open to currently registered students Monday - Thursday from 10am - 4pm.

In order to accommodate social distancing, seating will be limited, and a small number of computers will be available (additional computers will be available in the Open Computer Lab).  WiFi will be available throughout the building and in the parking lots.

Users are required to use a face covering to enter the Library.  Please observe social distancing and remain 6 feet apart from staff and other users.  Please limit your time in the Library to allow other users access.


In order to ensure the health and safety of our users, some services and facilities will be temporarily unavailable.  Group study rooms will not be available.  The book shelves will be closed to users.  The upper level and parts of the reading room will be closed.

Students may request to borrow materials online on the library homepage and collect them up at self-service pick-up locations.  Students may return materials in the outside book drop, or in the inside return bin.  Please not returned materials will be quarantined for at least 7 days & will remain on the user account until checked in.

Library services will continue to be available online.  NOVA Librarians will be available to provide online research assistance from 8.30am - 8.00pm, and real-time research assistance is available via our chat service 24-7.  

Users are asked to sanitize their work spaces before and after use.
