Moore Library News - HSL at University of Virginia-Claude Moore Health Sciences Library

As we shared on December 21, 2020, the Library has made more more of its physical space available 24-hours per day. Along with this increased access comes the Library's reminder that UVA Health policy requires that all affiliates (including, but not limited to, faculty, staff, and students) display their identification badge at all times when in the medical center- this includes the Library.

We are pleased to announce that UVA Health Security has agreed to expand their rounds through the newly opened 24-hours spaces when the Service Desk is not staffed. We ask all Library patrons to do their part by displaying your badge, wearing a mask, and maintaining physical distancing to help provide for the safety and security of our community.
