The Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery is pleased to fully reopen to our campus and community users. Effective August 16 we reopened all seven floors of the building with no appointment required to use computers or study spaces. Per UMBC guidelines, masks are required at all times.

Beginning August 30, 2021 we will reopen for our fall semester hours:

Monday-Thursday: 9:00am to 8:00pm

Friday: 9:00am to 5:00pm

Saturday: 12:00pm to 5:00pm

Sunday: 12:00pm to 8:00pm

After the closing times posted above, UMBC users with valid, current ID may move to the Retriever Learning Center (RLC), which is open 24 hours.

In addition to masks for user and staff safety, we have reduced capacity of some of our meeting and study rooms and event spaces, and removed some furniture to allow for safe social distancing. For everyone's safety, we encourage you to consume food and drink outside of the Library during this time. Appointments are still required to use the Special Collections Reading Room, and other service points may have reduced hours.

As always, consult the library webpage for up to date hours and other information about our collections, services, and spaces. And keep an eye on this myUMBC group for updates on specific services and spaces. We look forward to welcoming our Retrievers back to the AOK Library & Gallery!
