Library Orientation: Library Orientation

Welcome back, and welcome home! 

We are looking forward to seeing all HUSL students back on campus at the start of classes on Monday, August 16, 2021.  Law students are encouraged to take advantage of reading rooms, carrels, and study room spaces in our beautiful, award-winning library.

Initially, the Law Library will be open to the Howard Law community from Monday - Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET, excluding holidays and university closures.  We anticipate extending our hours of operation after the start of the semester.  To familiarize yourself with the physical library space, a virtual tour of the library can be found here.  

In compliance with the District of Columbia and Howard University requirements, appropriate precautions for COVID-19 must be followed by all faculty, students, and staff for the safety and protection of the entire community:

• Masks must be worn at all times in the Law Library and other spaces on campus.  There is ample library seating to provide for easy social distancing.

• Bison S.A.F.E.: The University's Pandemic Response provides information about campus protocol and vaccination requirements.

• You must sign into Bison S.A.F.E. daily before coming to campus or the library.  Download Bison S.A.F.E. from the App Store or on Google play.

To schedule a conversation with a law librarian about library services or resources, please send an email and include your availability for a meeting on Zoom.

As we all come together for fall 2021, 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!
