While we have had to adjust some of our in-person services, we continue to offer robust remote access to library resources and services, and the expertise of Cowles librarians is just a click away. Please check back often for updates! Most recent update: February 26, 2021.
We offer a contact-free pickup service to provide access to our physical collections. You can place holds on Cowles and FastTRAC items through SuperSearch, and request interlibrary loan items, and pick them up at the library on select days and times. Visit our Contact-Free Pickup Service page for details.
