Starting this Fall 2023, Tozzer Library will be providing two study carrels to anyone affiliated with HUNAP. The study carrels will be available to book in 4 hour increments and are housed in the bottom floor of Tozzer Library across from the elevator. Reserve a carrel at https://libcal.library.harvard.edu/reserve/hunap/carrels.
If you have questions about the carrels, feel free to contact Julie Fiveash or Tozzer Library about the space (tozzerlibrary@fas.harvard.edu).

Comics and graphic novels
2SLGBTQIA+ and Indigiqueer materials
Cooking and foodways

This collection is located on the first floor of the Tozzer Library on the left as you enter the main entrance.
