Animal Policy

In order to minimize potential distractions and allergens for individuals who are working and studying in the library building, Scribner Library policy limits the presence of animals to the following circumstances:

• Service animals are allowed anywhere in the building. Such animals should be on leash and marked with some sort of official designation (vest, bib, or collar, etc).
• Emotional support animals may be brought on leash into the tiled lobby of the Library building—i.e., in front of the Circulation Desk—but should not be brought further into the building.
• Pets may be brought on leash into the tiled lobby of the Library building—i.e., in front of the Circulation Desk—but should not be brought further into the building.

Access to the Public

Although the primary mission of the Scribner Library is to support the teaching and learning needs of the Skidmore community, the Library is also open to the public. Guests are welcome to use our print materials on site and access the guest wireless network with their personal mobile devices.

If you need assistance finding information and accessing resources, librarians and other staff members are available at the Research Help and Circulation desks, both conveniently located on the first floor of the Library.
