* Temporary Location Information:

The Main Library at OSUL is in the midst of a $100 million renovation which began in Autumn 2006. In preparation for the renovation the Main Library was emptied, and Rare Books was the first unit to vacate the building. On July 10th, Rare Books reopened in its temporary home at the Ohio State University Archives at 2700 Kenny Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210-1046. It is anticipated that Rare Books will be in this temporary location until Autumn 2009.
