Visit
The BYU Library will be closed Christmas Eve/Day and New Year's Eve/Day and on the Sundays during semester break (December 21st, 28th, and January 4th). No missionary help is available during the semester break from December 18 and January 6th. Due to limited student staffing, the Religion/Family History Help Desk will also be closed December 22 through January 3. For other changes to hours or services, see the BYU Library schedule.
