COVID-19 updates and resources

Oxford campus materials are available for curbside pickup at King Library. For more information, visit our curbside pickup page.

Also, you can always get in touch with a librarian if you need a particular book, journal, newspaper, or other text from our collection. We may be able to find an electronic version or a suitable alternative.

• If you have print materials (books, journals, newspapers, etc) or a phone charger, calculator, or other small and sturdy piece of equipment, you have several options regarding returning them:
  1. Drop them off at the book drop on the south side of King Library
  2. Mail to:
     King Circulation
     151 S. Campus Ave
     Oxford, OH 45056
  3. Drop them off at King Library during open hours.
• For laptops, iPads, tablets, cameras, and the like, please drop them off in-person during open hours, or contact LibFines@MiamiOH.edu with questions — please don't send them tumbling through the book drop.

OhioLINK lending of physical materials is scheduled to resume on August 10.
