Reading period access: From April 30-May 12, access to the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center and the Fisher Fine Arts Library will be limited to PennCard holders and other Penn affiliates. See our Service Alerts for more information.

Books on the move: Materials on the fifth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center are being temporarily moved to our off-site storage facility. For your safety, please avoid browsing the fifth-floor stacks. See our Service Alerts for information about requesting books during the transition. 

The Penn Libraries have a long-standing commitment to free inquiry, non-discrimination, and creating a welcoming environment for the entire University community. We have recently initiated a review of our programs promoting and supporting these commitments to ensure that they are effective,  consistent with the new federal government guidance and Executive Orders, federal, state, and local law, and supportive of our principles and values.  We remain committed to providing a respectful and welcoming environment to our faculty, staff, and students, and will announce new programming after the review.
