I would like to support the Friends of Fondren Library
Due to COVID-19 campus protocols, the library building is open to Rice faculty, students and staff only for regular entry, and to Friends members by appointment. The library will re-open on July 5, 2021. We are offering remote and virtual services for Friends members including books by mail and front-door book pickup through Aug. 22. Electronic resources such as online journals and databases must be accessed in the library building, so please make an appointment to do so. Please email FoFL@rice.edu with any questions.
