Masked students studying in the Library.

With campus resuming in-class instruction, the Library is returning to regular hours and open to all patrons, including visitors. 

We continue to require proof of a green COVID-19 clearance badge from anyone wishing to access the building. Users still must enter through the Mountain Entrance and exit through Paseo West to better facilitate badge checking.  

Non-affiliate visitors need to complete a visitor symptom screener and obtain a green badge to enter. This can be completed either online in advance or at the Mountain Entrance upon arrival. If filling out the online version, under the "please provide a contact" section, visitors should input Library under contact name and library-bops@ucsb.edu under contact email.

Additionally, groups of 2-10 people are again allowed to use the group study rooms. Mask use remains mandatory for all users inside the building, except while actively eating or drinking.
