Phase 1 of the multi-year renovation of Jackson Library has officially begun! The tower side of the building will be unavailable until mid-2026, but the College Avenue side of the building remains open and available. The UNCG University Libraries are committed to providing access to materials, both electronically and print, during this time.

Options for accessing books:

• Electronic resources. We provide more than 1.4 million ebooks and 137,000 ejournals. Our e-resources are available 24 hours a day, both on and off campus.
• Other library shelving locations and collections. The 100,000+ items in the Schiffman Music Library will remain available throughout the renovation project. Two hundred thousand books, journals, and other materials from the Jackson tower will be stored in our newly expanded on-campus remote storage facility and will be available upon request. The Special Collections and University Archives collections of over 125,000 items will also be available. Throughout phase 1 we will maintain a collection of up to 10,000 recently returned and newly purchased books. They will be available for browsing and checkout on the first floor of the library.
• Local academic libraries. All UNCG faculty, staff, and students are eligible to borrow from the nearly 4.5 million items housed at fifteen Triad Academic Libraries.
• Other North Carolina libraries. All UNCG faculty, staff, and students are eligible to borrow from a collection of over 20 million items located at UNC System Libraries on the seventeen campuses, and at many other regional libraries.
• Interlibrary Loan. If you need a book or article that we don’t have, we can borrow it from another library. This service is provided at no cost to UNCG-affiliated patrons.
