The SMFA Library will be closed for carpet replacement starting Saturday, May 18 and will reopen on Friday, June 14.
During this time, library staff will be working remotely and will be available by email and Zoom, but the library's physical space and collections will be inaccessible.
If you need study space between May 18 and June 14, we recommend visiting Tisch Library, Lilly Music Library, Ginn Library, or Hirsh Health Sciences Library.
All SMFA items with due dates during the closure will be automatically renewed, and you'll receive an email with the new due date. If you are planning to return any checked-out items, please do so by 5 pm on Friday, May 17. If you need to return SMFA items during the closure, you can return them to one of the Tufts libraries listed above. Please return interlibrary loan items to Tisch Library.
We ask that you pick up any requested items from our hold shelf by 5 pm on Friday, May 17. The SMFA Library will not appear as a pickup location for requests in JumboSearch, and our items will not be available for request, starting May 13. You can place requests on materials from other Tufts libraries and choose another Tufts library as your pickup location.
SMFA Library users can continue placing interlibrary loan requests through ILLiad during the closure. Any items that arrive while the SMFA Library is closed will be placed on hold at Tisch Library.
Please visit our website to see full hours for the end of semester and summer. We hope you'll stop by before we close to check out books, take seeds from our Seed Library, and say goodbye to our old carpet!
