Operating Hours

ESU students, faculty, and staff will need to swipe their eCard to enter the library through the Main Entry Door after 6:00 p.m.

Members of the public are welcome in the building daily from opening to 6:00 p.m. or closing, whichever comes earlier.

The card swipe is located to the right of the library’s Main Entrance.

There is an automatic door (ADA Door) located to the left of the library building with a blue button that must be pressed for entry.

If you have trouble entering the building, please call the Circulation Desk at (570) 422-3126 and a staff person will come to the door to assist you.

Library Closing Procedure

There are three announcements made during closing. The first one is made 30 minutes before closing to let patrons and visitors know that all library materials are to be brought to the circulation desk to be checked back in (returned) and this includes reserves and laptops.

A reminder announcement will be made approximately 5-10 minutes before closing that the library will be closing soon and the lights will blink for anyone wearing headsets or who may have missed the first announcement.

A final announcement will be made at closing.

The lights will be turned off following the final announcement.

For safety purposes, all patrons must leave the building after the final closing announcement.
