Entrances and Services Access
Due to major construction, as of February 3, 2025, there will be some changes to how library patrons access the Joseph F. Smith Library and its services. Please refer to signage, library social media, the bulletin, and this page for regular updates.
New Updates
New Temporary Study Room
We now have a temporary study room located on the left side of the library. To access it:
- Enter through the lobby and head left.
- At the end of the hallway, turn right.
- You will find the open study space in Room JFS152.
Feel free to use this space for studying and collaborative work!
