Libraries Annex

Annex Shelving Generic

The library annex is comprised of three off-site shelving facilities, within 4 miles of the UP campus, where low-use library materials are stored to relieve congestion in the Libraries. They provide a controlled environment to help preserve the longevity of materials and are not open to the public. 

Requests for delivery of book and scanned articles are processed Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.  Requests are generally delivered within 24-48 hours.
