Did you know we have two on-campus locations where you can pick up your library books 24/7?

Users can choose Ellis Locker or Lottes Locker as their pickup location when requesting MU Libraries materials. Once the item is ready, users will receive an access code to pick it up.

Patrons who select the pickup locker location will receive an email saying they have three days to pick up their library materials. At this time, only regular library items will be included in the pickup lockers; no equipment, reserve materials or ILL materials.

The Ellis Library lockers are located inside the vestibule of the west entrance, which is near Speaker’s Circle. The Health Sciences Library Pickup lockers are located in the Medical Science Building, just across the courtyard from the Medical Annex.

Ellis Library Study Room 2E21 has been redesigned to incorporate sensory & well-being features! Located on the second floor, just east of the reading room, the room now contains acoustic panels to reduce noise, a faux plant for a natural feel, a dimmable color-changing lamp, and a ball chair and mat for flexible seating. All students can reserve and use the room for sensory needs, studying, or relaxation.
Sensory rooms are spaces designed with calming or stimulating features—such as lights, sounds, textures, and interactive items—to support relaxation, focus, and sensory regulation. These rooms are often used to reduce stress, improve focus and are especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed or need help staying engaged.

In addition to the space, sensory kits and items are now available to borrow at the North Service Desk. Sensory items can be tools, toys, or materials designed to stimulate or calm one or more senses. They’re often used for sensory regulation, focus, stress relief, or therapeutic purposes. They can be useful for people with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing needs, but they’re helpful for anyone. Items available include: yoga mats with poses, a meditation cushion, noise-dampening ear muffs, a SAD lamp, a weighted lap blanket, and a white noise machine. The available sensory kits are: fidgets, self-soothing items, mindfulness & meditation and self-care.
