COVID-19 Updates

The Campus Library building is open and operating under the following COVID-related policies:

Face Coverings

Masks are strongly recommended the first two weeks of the quarter and are recommended indoors to help keep transmission levels low.

In alignment with the UW Face Covering Policy, masks are optional within the Campus Library building, but required for personnel and students who test postive for COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. A mask dispenser is available at the entrance to the library building.

Feeling Sick?

If you feel unwell or are sick with any potential illness, you must stay home, regardless of your vaccination status. Check the symptoms of COVID-19 and follow the UW's guidance for what to do if you feel sick. Consult the COVID-19 Flowchart to know when to report illness and close contact exposure, when to get tested, and when to stay home.
