Important Information about AMP Library

The AMP Library is permanently closed.
As part of the UW-Madison Libraries response to budget reductions, the Libraries have made the difficult decision to accelerate the closure of smaller libraries that were previously identified for potential changes in the 2017 Libraries Facilities Master Plan.
Collections and services will continue to be available at alternate locations. More details on the AMP closure are available here.
