Outreach to the Community

The Spencer Research Library welcomes use of its collections and services by the general public.

It is not necessary to make an appointment to use the collections.

However, because portions of the collections are housed off site, it will require at least one working day—not including Saturday, Sunday or holidays—for such items to be retrieved.

Staff are available by appointment to offer brief tours of the Library for small groups. Call 785/864-4334.

With reasonable notice, librarians and archivists also are available to provide more extended presentations to groups about the Library's collections and services. They offer these services in meeting rooms at the Library, at other locations on the Lawrence campus and Edwards
