You have several options for parking near the library:
1. Purchase a Night & Weekend parking permit. This will give you access (from 4:30 pm to 8:30 am weekdays and all weekend long) to the Newton Road Ramp and any other UI cashiered parking facility without paying an hourly charge. See Parking & Transportation's Student Parking and Bus Pass Information
2. Park free in lot 40 (by the Dental School) from 4:30 pm to 5:30 am weekdays and all weekend long. Note: avoid lot 40 during most athletic events and all lots during home football games.
3. Obtain a night permit decal for your car. It's free and will enable you to pay student hourly rates at select cashiered facilities (including the Newton Road Ramp) from 4:30 pm to 8:30 am weekdays and all weekend long. Be aware that entering before 4:30 pm or leaving after 8:30 am invalidates the rate reduction. See Parking & Transportation's Student Parking and Bus Pass Information
4. Use the metered parking located behind Hardin Library. The meters allow up to 2 hours of parking.
