Smathers Library Temporary Entrance (July)

Starting Monday, July 8th, the main entrance to Smathers Library will be closed due to ongoing renovation work. The colonnade outside of Smathers Library will be demolished and the main entrance to the building will be closed for the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed in July. Updates will be provided as the project progresses.

Please note that the library remains open. A temporary entrance will be set up on the same side of the building towards the south end. This entrance does not have an automatic door opener, but to ensure accessibility, library employees will be available to assist anyone with mobility needs. Please contact (352)273-2825 for assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Update: This project has been completed and the main entrance is fully operational again. Please use the main entrance to access the building.
