During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rice Library offers online services to facilitate the safety and health of our users and library workers. We encourage users to take advantage of our extensive digital resources and online services as much as possible. If you visit the library, you must follow all campus safety guidelines. Face coverings are required while indoors on the USI campus, regardless of vaccination status. Physical distancing of 3 feet or more is also required.
