All materials in the Cushing Memorial Library are non-circulating. The access to the library's stacks is closed and materials are paged  upon request for use in the Reading Room only. Researchers should consult the staff member at the Reading Room service desk about the availability of materials and the procedures for using finding aids and for requesting materials.  Only pencils may be used with these materials. Paper is provided by the library for researchers. Portable computers are permissible provided that their use does not disturb other researchers. 

Photo duplication services are available in the Cushing Memorial Library on a very limited basis. Requests for copies of materials will be reviewed by a staff member to determine whether duplication processes will damage the material and to ensure that copying is in conformance with any restrictions on the materials.  When requesting copies of our materials, please plan ahead. The turn around time for photocopies is 24 hours and three to seven days for photographs and scans.
