Library Renovation Updates for Fall Semester

Grasselli Library and Breen Learning Center Renovation, Updates and Reminders for Fall 2024 – please pardon our dust and the noise.

Construction continues on the entire 1st floor/bottom level of the building, as well as, the west side (Breen). Noise levels may be high at some times. The Help Desk is providing ear plugs (just ask!). The construction team is scheduled to work from 6:00am to 3:30pm daily, Monday through Friday.

During this renovation, we ask for your patience. Please note:
* Limited access to our print collection. We can request books and articles for you from other libraries via OhioLINK and Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
* No access to the University Archives.
* Study Space is limited.

Our online collection of 250+ databases (containing ebooks, journals, video, images and more) is always available (both on and off campus) at lib.jcu.edu

If you are seeking a quieter space to study this semester, here are some suggested locations around campus:
CMLC Center for Global Languages and Cultures – OC101
CMLC Faculty Library – OC139
Education Department Lounge – SIH 301
O’Malley Center Atrium
Dolan Science Center Atrium

In addition to these spaces on campus, the nearby public libraries also have tables and study/meeting rooms. Contact the individual library for detailed information:
