To make an appointment, click on “Appointments,” then “New Appointment.” They may be scheduled for a minimum of 3 hours, beginning any time between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. Click into an available date on the calendar, select your appointment length and time, and click “Create appointment.” For research materials to be ready for you when you arrive, you must link requests with your appointment.

PLEASE NOTE:
Young children must be supervised at all times by a parent/adult and must be able to understand and obey all rules of the Reading Room.
Middle and High School students are encouraged to use the materials found at the Center for their research needs. We request that they bring a school picture ID on the day of their visit to comply with the rules for issuance of a Reading Room pass. Any students who cannot produce a photo ID for admittance must be accompanied by a parent/adult with appropriate identification.
