• Libraries are open, with some exceptions. Please review the current campus status level to determine your level of access. Then, please check individual library hours before visiting.
• Alumni IDs are temporarily suspended, as anyone who is not a current employee or student is considered a guest at this time. See the latest updates to the community regarding campus planning. In the meantime, please use online resources licensed for alumni access.
• Our Ask a Librarian service remains available from anywhere. 

• Library materials may be returned to any open library location or to the return bins outside of Butler Library; please check campus access updates before visiting. 

Most library materials are renewable online via your My Borrowing Account in CLIO. If you are trying to renew items that are non-renewable, such as Borrow Direct, Interlibrary Loan, or Course Reserves materials, please contact circulation@columbia.edu for assistance.
