The Art Library has moved!
And it’s open!

As of August 4, 2009, the Art Library collection is on the southwest side of the Main Library’s 2nd floor. You can see, touch, and check out the books!

Temporary signs are up to help you find materials and help is available in Room 2006, the shared Art and Music Libraries Office (335-3086). That’s also where you’ll find the Art Library Reserve, Reference and Circulation services. You can email us at lib-art@uiowa.edu or give us a call.

Our staff offices are in the Main Library: Kim Carpenter in Rm. 2006 (kim-carpenter@uiowa.edu, 335-3089) and Rijn Templeton in Rm. 5033 (rijn-templeton@uiowa.edu, 384-3096). Please let us know if you have any questions.
