Did you see a location in the catalog, but aren't sure where it is? This guide lists our Grasselli Library locations and where to find them within the library. There are two sides of the library buidling: Grasselli and Breen. Grasselli is the side on which the main entrance is located. Breen is the side opposite the main entrance (with the Den coffee shop), or on the second/third floors after you cross the breezeways to the other side of the central courtyard reading garden.
