This informational guide about the Booher Library is designed with Southwest alum in mind. If you don't get your question answered here, please reach out to us at library@ssw.edu and we will be happy to help.
You may have noticed the Booher Library is under construction. We have a temporary space set up just up the street known as the Deanery at 509 Rathervue Place.

An important note to Southwest alum: The Deanery is available to you during "open" and "restricted" hours. During "restricted" hours, please ring the doorbell for access and be prepared to identify yourself. The door is locked during "restricted" hours for the safety of the library's staff and users.
If you live locally and can pick up items from the Booher Library: we will retrieve items for you from the APTS library. Use the library's discovery tool, Seeker, to search for items. Once you find what you need, use this form to submit your request. Don't see what you need? Write us at library@ssw.edu and describe what you are looking for.
