What does "restricted services" mean on the library hours?
- “restricted services” is posted on those days during Intersession (the days between semesters) when the library staff is on site but the library itself is closed to all students except for the following service:
- Students who need to return borrowed items (books, calculators, laptops, etc.) or who need to clear fines from their account, may stop by the circulation desk from 9 am – 5 pm.
- There are no other in-person services available to students in the library on these days (printing, use of study rooms, checking out items, etc.)
- Baruch faculty may enter the library during these days to borrow materials and use other services.
If the Circulation Desk is closed, how can I check out a book?
There is a self-checkout machine on the 2nd floor across from the Circulation Desk and next to the elevator alcove that will work if you have a valid Baruch or CUNY SPS ID card.
What do I do if the Tech Loan Desk is closed?

- stop by in person or call them at (646) 312-1660 or email them at circulation@baruch.cuny.edu
