UW-Green Bay Libraries

Faculty & Staff Resources

We are happy to welcome UW-Green Bay students, faculty and staff back to the Cofrin Library. The reopening of the Libraries will be done in a phased plan, which will change each month for the next three months. Details about currently available services and spaces will be posted here.

Building Access

Beginning July 1, the 3rd floor of the Cofrin Library on the Green Bay campus is open with limited hours for UW-Green Bay students, faculty and staff only. All individuals must comply with the guidelines in Phoenix Forward: Return to Campus. The three additional campus library locations remain closed at this time.

Checking Out Books

UW-Green Bay faculty and staff can now check out books from Cofrin Library! All you need to do is request the items you want, schedule a pick-up time and then go to the library to get your items. Complete instructions are available on our Pickup Service by Appointment guide.
