Access to library resources and study areas on inclement weather days

If CMU delays opening or closes campus due to inclement weather, some library resources and study spaces will still be available. We will post an alert on our website and social media channels about library access on these days.

• Many of our collections are available online anywhere, anytime, through Smart Search.  
• You can get help from a librarian through Ask a Librarian.
• Some of the Park Library’s first-floor study spaces may be open.
