Art Library Spaces

Carrels: Faculty may request a library carrel for research and storage of checked out Art Library materials. To reserve a carrel, contact artlib@louisville.edu. 

Room 102C: The Art Library’s 102C room is reserved for University of Louisville faculty for library instruction and occasional class meetings. 102C may not be used to schedule recurring weekly reservations, such as semester-long classes. To book room 102C, go to louisville.libcal.com/booking/art.

This room may also be used for prayer or meditation whenever available (no reservations required). A prayer rug is provided in the space. 

Restroom: The Art Library does not have a public restroom. You will need to exit the library and go down to the bottom level of Schneider Hall. We apologize for the inconvenience!
