Food for Fines

Put your Library fines to work for the community. For two weeks, April 4-April 18, the Main Campus Libraries will exchange Food for Fines. For every canned good or non-perishable food item brought to the Lauinger Library or the Blommer Science Library, $1.00 in current library fines will be removed from your record. See details here.

All items will be donated to Bread for the City, which works with the disabled, the elderly, and families with children.

»New Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection

The Library of Congress, with 129 million items in 21 separate reading rooms, is one of the world's great research collections. LC welcomes public use of its general reference facilities, but it can be bewildering because of its size and complexity. The new Georgetown University-Library of Congress Connection streamlines access for Georgetown University's faculty and students to LC's collections and services as a supplement to Georgetown University Library's resources. Visit the Library's new Library of Congress Connection web page to learn how to:

  • initiate a research consultation with a curator at LC;
  • schedule an orientation for yourself or your class;
  • check availability of a conference room where a class could make use of materials from the LC collections.
