We welcome visitors to park in one of the 10 identified visitor spaces along the hedgerow in the Library Lot without a special permit.

If those spaces are occupied, you may park along Mercer Street, Library Place, Stockton Street, or in the municipal lot next-door (metered parking).

The Library Lot is monitored. Vehicles parked in non-visitor spaces within the Library Lot without valid, current Princeton Seminary parking permits (or temporary permits issued for specific events) are subject to ticketing.

For general parking information, please see “Visitor Parking” section of the Public Safety website.

Floor plans (2015) are posted near elevators and stairwells on each floor. View the floor plans online.

Self-Guided Tour of the Library

Places for both quiet and collaborative study

Available during posted hours, the Reference Desk is located on the first floor opposite the Circulation Desk. Use the Ask the Reference Librarian form to submit online requests for information.

The Reference Librarian provides individual reference and research assistance and often instructs Seminary classes on the use of research tools.

Interlibrary loan requests made by members of the Seminary community are also handled by the Reference Librarian.
