For Spring 2021, due to a change in building access, materials in previously assigned carrels are available on personal book carts that can be used at reservable study spaces.
Personal book carts
Personal book carts are wheeled book carts with in-use materials. Any materials previously checked out to a study carrel will now be available on a personal book cart. They can be used at a reservable study space during your appointment.
You must email circulation@northwestern.edu to request your carrel books and reserve a time to pick up your cart with the Main Circulation Desk prior to your reservable study space appointment. The cart can be retrieved at the Main Circulation desk and brought to the reserved space.
After the appointment, please return the cart to Main Circulation. If you would like to arrange to instead check out your carrel materials to your account and pick them up from the University (Main) Library, please contact circulation@northwestern.edu.
Policies
- All materials on personal book carts must be properly checked out to that carts. Uncharged materials should never be kept on carts and will be removed.
- Materials charged to personal book carts may not be removed from the library. Patrons who wish to take materials charged to their carrel from the library must switch the items to their personal account at the Circulation Desk.
