*Need Help?*
If you have questions or run into issues after the update, please contact the library. We’ll do our best to assist or direct you to the appropriate support resources.

The library’s 6th floor will be temporarily closed for approximately three weeks from July 11 to August 1, due to a construction project to install ceiling-mounted dehumidifiers.

What to Expect:

• The 6th floor will be closed to users, and most physical copies, including the main, Leisure, Career, Chinese Language Learning, and PPL collections, will be inaccessible.
• The 5th floor will remain open. Course Reserves and the Media Collection will be available for browsing and self-checkout. 
• Please note: some noise and dust may occur during the construction period. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you need materials from the closed collections, please submit your request using this form. You will receive an email notification when your items are ready for pickup at the Library Service Desk on the 5th floor.

For questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at shanghai.library@nyu.edu.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
