The Leatherby Libraries is happy to welcome those of you who are returning to the Chapman University campus beginning Monday, March 29, 2021.

The Leatherby Libraries will re-open to welcome students, faculty, and staff back to campus, but our policies and procedures are new. Please read below to learn how you can use the library safely.

  • Prior to entering the library, you must reserve a study space. See updated study space reservation policies.
