A power failure in the Education II building has forced the Library and the Student Success Center to close for the day until power can be restored.  UPDATE: The Library and SSC will be closed today and Friday.

Databases and electronic resources are available through the UAMS Library website.

We will update this page and the phone message at the Circulation Desk (501-686-5980) as we learn more about repairs, when the power may be restored, and when we can expect to reopen the Library and the SSC.
Thank you for your patience.

“Evicted” by Matthew Desmond was a recent selection for the UAMS Provost Book Club.
This Pulitzer Prize winning book published in 2016 follows eight families in Milwaukee as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads.
Copies are available for checkout in the Library.
