Library hours and COVID procedures, January 2022

Welcome back, students!

The R.P. Bell Library is operating on slightly reduced hours during January:
 

Monday - Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Saturday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Sunday: 1:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
 

Contact librarians on Live Chat or e-mail for research help and help with access to e-books and e-journals. Contact Access Services staff for help with course reserves and other questions. 

COVID Updates:

• Masks must be worn at all times in the Library. Please use a three-layer medical-type mask or, for better protection, a KN95 or N95 mask. Cloth masks are acceptable if they consist of two layers of tightly woven material plus a third, middle filter layer. Read more.
   
• Eating is not permitted in the Library or the Flying Bean Cafe area except to take "sips & bites." You may remove your mask only for the limited time it takes to have a sip or a bite, and must immediately re-mask. These precautions are in place to help prevent airborne contagions.
   
• Physical Distancing remains important. Tables throughout the Library are two metres apart. Tables can accommodate just one person or others in your bubble. Please maintain a distance of two metres from those who are not among your small circle of close contacts.

See the University's COVID updates for further information.
