Materials within Ricker's Vault collection can be accessed only in-person and cannot leave the library. To request an item, simply come visit us with some basic information about the item such as the call number, title, author or date. Library staff will retrieve the item for you and walk you through any special handling needs. You will then be set up at a table in front of the circulation desk. A staff member will remain in the area in case you have any questions or need assistance of any kind. 

As general policy, please also take care that your hands are clean and dry. To prevent any accidents, only pencils are permitted around vault items. Any backpacks and water bottles should also be placed on the floor away from the materials.
