The ASL library has 24,780 net square feet of space, with room for a later expansion. Group study rooms have displays in the room and a white board (remote controls, extra cords, markers, and erasers are available at the Circulation Desk). The library’s Seminar Room is available for formal and informal classes.

The Circulation & Reserve Area, located on the first floor, is usually the first place for our patrons to ask questions. Some items in the library may be checked out to members of the ASL community (public patrons do not have borrowing privileges), and can easily be processed by bringing the books and a valid ASL ID to the Circulation Desk. The Reserve Area holds course reserve materials, audiovisual materials, and popular study aids.

There are four self-service photocopiers throughout the library; two upstairs and two downstairs. Public patrons can set up a WEPA printing account before visiting the library, or when they arrive on campus. Prices are posted on the machine displays.

The ASL Library offers general reference services to all library patrons. During the school year, the librarians are usually available in their offices Monday throughFriday from 8 am until 4 pm. Please note that our librarians cannot answer legal questions for the public (which includes prisoner requests).

The library offers additional services to members of the ASL community, such as Interlibrary Loan, access to certain electronic databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw, and a number of publications.
