The Trustee Reading Room is now open from 11:45 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday during the academic year, excluding break and recess periods.
Entry and exit is via the front doors of Firestone. Only the lobby, lobby restrooms, and the reading room itself are accessible during these hours, along with a networked printer, print release station, photocopier, and BookScan station. A security guard is on duty, but there is no circulation or reference service.
In light of the library’s importance in teaching and research at Princeton, the University has committed to a comprehensive renovation of Firestone Library. The renovation is conceived as a long-term project that is being done in multiple phases and will take almost 10 years to finish, during which time the library will remain open, and its collections available during normal hours of operation.
