Welcome to Coates Library: Library Building

You’ll get to know the library plenty during your time at Trinity. For now, here are the basics:

Building access

The library can be entered by using your Tiger Card. Use of all our interior spaces will follow the university’s requirements for social distancing and hygiene.

Hours

Most days the library is open from 8:00am to midnight. The library’s website always has an up-to-date calendar of operational hours: https://lib.trinity.edu/hours/. This page includes hours for the Tiger Learning Commons (including the Writing Center), ITS, Ricoh Print Center, and Starbucks.
