The Benson’s Rare Books Reading Room is generally open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Appointments must be made a full business day in advance or they may not be confirmed.
While appointments are generally not required, we strongly encourage all patrons to fill out this form to let us know when you are planning on doing your research and what materials you would like to see during your visit. This will help us to make sure that the materials you are requesting are available when you arrive, and also let you know immediately if there are any changes to our hours or if we experience any service disruptions.
Note:
- The Benson Latin American Collection will open from 1-5 only on May 15. Additionally, we will be closed on May 26, June 19, July 4th, and September 1 in observance of university holidays.
