In 2005-2007, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, will
relocate to temporary quarters during a California state-mandated seismic
retrofitting of its building and a much-needed upgrading of its facilities.
The Bancroft Library has been in its current location, the Doe Library
Annex, since the 1950s.
On June 1, 2005, Bancroft will close to the public in order to move its
collections. A temporary reading room will tentatively reopen in October at
2121 Allston Way, just off campus in downtown Berkeley. While in the
temporary space, not all materials will be available and services may be
curtailed.
For more information and updates about the closure and move, please visit
