Library Hours for Visitors

While the library welcomes visitors, its resources are intended for the support of theological research and teaching. Building access and resource use is given priority to the library’s regular patrons, including seminary faculty, staff, students and administration, formal guests of the seminary, special researchers, and members of American University and the Washington Theological Consortium.

Visitors are welcome to use the library for theological research during the seminary’s regular business hours:

Monday - Friday:
10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

For questions about access at other times, please contact the library.
