UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — For Penn State University Park campus library users’ convenience, a blue Penn State University Libraries book return bin has been temporarily relocated for the summer to the entrance vestibule of the Collaboration Commons, located on the ground floor of West Pattee Library near Fraser Road. 

Normally housed on University Park’s West Campus inside West 2 Building, this book return bin will be restored to its usual location at the start of the fall 2023 semester. At that time, walk-up access should resume to Pattee Library and Paterno Library's blue-canopied book return slot near Paterno Library's East Entrance on Curtin Road.  

The East Entrance and its exterior plaza are closed for the summer for a major maintenance project. More details about this project are available online.
