Changes coming to Books by Mail: Starting in fall 2025, Books by Mail items will only be shipped to addresses in the contiguous United States 50 miles or further from campus. We will make exceptions for students, faculty, and staff with disabilities. Learn more.

On Monday, August 11, the main entrance to the Fisher Fine Arts Library will be closed so restoration work can take place. The accessible entrance will remain open. See map and directions to the accessible entrance or get more information about this important restoration project.

Print reserves

Faculty may place books and other materials on reserve at the Atwood (campus) and duPont (New Bolton Center) Veterinary Libraries.

Find recommended course materials in the reserve sections, behind the circulation desk at Atwood Library and at the beginning of the stacks at duPont Library. Loan periods are four hours, with an optional four-hour renewal. Veterinary students and staff may check out reserve materials overnight half an hour before closing time, and must return them at opening time the following morning to avoid fines. Library staff can assist with special arrangements for extended checkouts.

Links to course reserves appear in Canvas course sites under Course Materials@Penn Libraries.
