The UCSF Kalmanovitz Library will reopen to the public upon completion of multiple renovation projects. We acknowledge that our reopening has been delayed several times due to supply chain issues and unforeseen construction issues, and we appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
The current tentative reopen timeline is August 2025.
The UCSF Library is following the timeline below as we reopen our spaces and in-person services. All services currently remain available and continue to be provided remotely or by appointment.
