Library Orientation: About the Library

As Dean Holley-Walker announced in her email to the HUSL community, the law school campus will reopen on Monday, August 17th. Law students are welcome to take advantage of selected spaces in the beautiful, award-winning library along with other spaces on campus. Excluding holidays and university closures, the Law Library will be open Monday - Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm until further notice.

In order to manage on campus capacity and ensure the de-densification of our spaces during this time, the law school is deploying a new Seats Reservation System. All law students who would like to study on campus are encouraged to consult the Seats Reservation page and reserve a seat for themselves before making the trip to campus. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we integrate this new reservation system into our campus management workflows. As with all new systems, we appreciate your feedback and will make adjustments as needed. Send any questions you have about our hours and the new reservation system to reference@law.howard.edu.

As with all spaces on the Howard University campuses, appropriate precautions for COVID-19 will be followed for the safety and protection of the entire community — including wearing masks at all times in the Law Library and other spaces on campus.

As we begin a new and unique experience this semester, the Howard University School of Law Library staff are happy to welcome you and support your success this semester and in the years to come!
