Information for Community Members & Visitors
As the Libraries move to further reduced hours and pivot to providing all reference and research assistance online, visits to Willis Library will be limited to those with UNT identification for laptop checkout, study, and access to computers. The building is not open to the public. All library users will be asked to maintain the appropriate social distancing recommended by health care officials. Signage has been placed around the building to remind users of their responsibilities in keeping surfaces as clean and isolated as possible, and surfaces within the building are being cleaned regularly. Group study should be conducted virtually, as group study rooms will not be available during this time. If you have any questions concerning hours of operation or practicing healthy social distancing in Willis Library, please contact us at AskUs@unt.edu - Updated 03/23/20 1:00PM
