Masks Strongly Recommended
We strongly recommend that you continue to wear masks in our library locations - these are high-traffic and high-capacity spaces where you may be in close proximity to others. We also ask that students, faculty, staff and visitors to the U of A Library respect the choices of others in our community regarding masking as we transition into this next phase together.
Please note that masks remain mandatory at the John W. Scott Health Sciences Library as this library is located in an Alberta Health Services operated building.
Food / Drink Policy
No food is permitted. Beverages permitted but only in containers with a lid.
Please do not come to the library if:
- You have a fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat or shortness of breath
- You have tested positive for COVID-19 and are required to isolate
- You have travelled outside of Canada within the last 14 days and have been ordered to isolate
The University of Alberta Library aims to provide a safe and healthy environment for all library patrons and our staff. Your patience with our staff is appreciated and abuse of staff members will not be tolerated.
