As we all begin a new Fall semester, Pitts Theology Library is excited to welcome new students, and to see familiar faces back at Candler!

Set yourself up for success by getting familiar with Pitts spaces, hours, and policies. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at pitts.emory.edu/ask with any questions, and we’ll look forward to seeing you at the library!

Hours

Pitts is open seven days a week during the semester. Monday-Thursday we’re open 7:30am- 9:00pm, Fridays 7:30am-6pm, Saturdays 10:00am-5pm, and Sundays 2:00pm-8:00pm. You can find our full hours at pitts.emory.edu/hours.

Food & Drinks

Please help us keep the library clean and our books safe. Drinks in covered containers and small snacks are permitted at Pitts, but please refrain from bringing full meals into the library. You should enjoy your meals in the atrium just outside the library. In addition, we ask that you clean up after yourself. Please be aware of the recycling and compost receptacles on every floor of the library and dispose of waste properly.

Spaces

Please remember to tap or swipe your EmoryCard to enter the library!

While here, keep in mind that you are sharing the space and be respectful of others. All Emory students, faculty, and staff, as well as community patrons, are welcome in the library. Please be hospitable in sharing outlets, tables, and other resources and maintaining a low volume in conversations and collaborative work.

Pitts has small group study rooms available for booking at pitts.emory.edu/rooms. These rooms can be reserved for up to two hours per person per day and up to a week in advance. Please review the room policies before booking and be aware that although these spaces are great for group work, they are not soundproof!

On behalf of the team at Pitts, we wish a warm welcome back to students, faculty, and staff as they return to campus after a period of remote learning! We hope you visit the library and make use of its collections, services, and spaces for the remainder of the spring semester.

Please note a few reminders as you come back to campus and plan your visit to the library:

  • EmoryCards are required for entrance into Pitts Library. This ensures that we have accurate numbers for physical distancing requirements and ensures a means of contact tracing if necessary. If you need a replacement ID, please visit Emory Card.
  • Non-Emory visitors must make an approved reservation to use the library’s collections and spaces in order to allow for contact tracing.
  • Masks are required at all times in Pitts. Help us keep everyone safe, by observing university COVID-19 guidelines and make sure to cover your nose and mouth.
  • Food and drink are not allowed in the library and must be consumed outside in accordance with CDC recommendations to limit the spread of Covid-19.
  • Pitts library hours can be found at pitts.emory.edu/hours.
  • Physical course reserves are available at the circulation desk. These items are not organized by title, author, or course, but are instead organized by Library of Congress call numbers. When you need something from physical reserves, please give the call number to the staff member.
  • Reference staff are available to find what you need, get access to databases, and help you research at the highest level. Please visit us at the Reference Desk from M–F; 9–4 or by contacting us at pitts.emory.edu/ask. You can also schedule a virtual consultation by visiting pitts.emory.edu/beard and pitts.emory.edu/mclean.
  • Weekly Workshops resume in-person this Spring, including Zotero, Exegesis, and Alumni Access workshops. See the full schedule at pitts.emory.edu/ww.
  • Kessler Conversations are coming up soon! Visit pitts.emory.edu/kesslerconversations to register and learn about our guest speakers on Women of the Reformation, starting this Tuesday, February 2nd at 12pm EST. 

We look forward to seeing you in the library!
