Summer 2025 Brown Fine Arts Library Renovation - Some Library Materials Temporarily Unavailable

Some Brown Fine Arts Library (BFAL) materials have been placed in storage due to a summer renovation project involving the front portion (carpeted area) of the BFAL. Items in Ranges 359-392 with Art or Music call numbers between AE 1 .E96 and ML 417 .H5 D4 will be unavailable for the remainder of the project. 

Please ask at the Service Desk or use our online Ask Us service to learn of alternative access options during this period. Items shelved in the back portion (tiled area) of the BFAL will continue to be available. Thank you for your patience. We look forward to sharing a renovated fine arts library space this fall.
