Update: Feb. 4, 2021—Library Curbside Pick-up

If you are a student studying remotely in the Syracuse area, you can now schedule a Law Library curbside pick-up—outdoors on Irving Avenue—of books you've checked out. Email circ@law.syr.edu with the book's title and call number from the Library Catalog, and indicate that you want to pick it up curbside. Library staff will retrieve the book and email you to schedule a pick-up. When picking up curbside, please do not exit your vehicles. Keep your mask on, and library staff will deliver your materials to your car.

Be advised that the pre-arrival testing requirements vary based on the origin of your travel to New York State.
