EIU Booth Library

Bookshelves closed for safety reasons, but we have you covered!

Posted on September 8th, 2020

Booth Library is open and ready to serve our patrons! However, due to COVID-19 safety precautions, access to our bookshelves is prohibited.

Don’t worry! Our staff will get you what you need! Patrons may request an item be pulled from the shelves by coming to the circulation desk in person; calling the circulation desk at 581-6071; sending an email to bthcirc@eiu.edu; or completing the book request form on the library website home page here. Patrons may also request the retrieval of Booth-owned items by using the request option in the library’s catalog, Primo.

Circulation staff members will email patrons and let them know when their materials are available for pickup. Materials requested by faculty will be delivered to their department office. Patrons picking up items at the circulation desk will need to bring their Panther Card for checkout. Materials will be available for pickup within 24 hours and generally are available within a couple hours.
