Library Support During COVID-19

Buhl Library is open for GCC faculty, staff and students to browse our collections, study and borrow  materials. Our number one priority is to provide services and space to support you academically this semester while keeping our campus community safe. The changes in services and operations which are detailed below are necessary in order to follow Grove City College's Return to Campus Health and Safety plan. This information may be updated or changed at any time to reflect new information or guidelines set forth by the college regarding that plan.

• The Library building is card access only. You will need your GCC ID card to scan into the building.

• Masks are required. While in the building you are required to wear a face covering over your nose and mouth unless excused from doing so by the Office of Student Life and Learning for a documented medical reason.
