Dewey Library closure

Dear members of the MIT community,

As part of the service changes the MIT Libraries announced for FY26 and FY27, Dewey Library will close permanently at 6 p.m. on June 12. The Libraries are committed to ensuring ongoing access to management and social sciences resources, with some collections moving to Hayden as part of a new, interdisciplinary collection for in-person browsing, and the remainder available by request.

Some details to note:

• Starting June 15, Dewey collections will be available by request, with several pickup and delivery options available, including a new pickup locker that will be available in E53 for the fall term.
• Course reserves and materials on hold at Dewey will move to Hayden; to request a different location, contact circulation@mit.edu.
• Research support remains available virtually and in person.
• The 24/7 study space will remain available with MIT ID at least through the fall term.

For the most up-to-date information about library services, please see our Service Updates page. Our library staff are ready to assist with any needs you may have; just Ask Us.

Sincerely,

Chris Bourg
Director, MIT Libraries
