General Collection

The print collection is only available through curbside pickup and mailing service and HathiTrust Temporary Access Service. The library stacks are closed and there is no in-person access to the physical collections in the building. Presently, the curbside and mailing service is only available for current Carleton students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

We are accepting returns. Book drops are accessible in the foyer and in exterior slot on Library Road. Please note because of book handling procedures, returned materials will remain on your Omni account for 7 days. 

Overdue fines were not charged during the library's pandemic closure, and are not being charged now that we are partially open.

If a book has been recalled from you, please return it as soon as possible or contact us for other return options.
