The Library now opens at 7:30am (Monday-Friday)!

Swisher Library will now open Monday through Friday at 7:30am! In response to student requests, we are pleased to be able to make this change. It should prove beneficial not only to students but to the JU community as a whole.

Additionally, as the end of the semester approaches, keep in mind that the library will be open until midnight, Monday through Thursday, during “dead week” and finals week. View the calendar here.

The library will also continue its annual tradition to provide coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cookies in the front lobby during library hours during "dead week" and finals.
