How To Find Your Way Around

Mantor Library has six staircases, two basements and five levels. Finding your way around can be tricky. To help mitigate that trickiness somewhat, here's a complete overview of the different areas of the library.

Floorplans	Get detailed pictures of each level of the library.
Book Basement	Books with call numbers beginning with the letters M through Z are shelved down here, and you'll also find some group study rooms and an URSUS terminal.
First Floor	The main hub of the library, containing everything from the reference collection and periodicals to the browsing room to the public access computers to access services. Also, both our Project Zone spaces live here. If you need help, stop by the main desk.
Mezzanine	All media items (DVDs, VHS, CDs) as well as equipment to view or listen to them.
Second Floor	Books with call numbers beginning with the letters A through L are shelved here, and you'll also find a quiet area, group study rooms, the map collection and the administrative offices of the library.
Third Floor	Contains the Juvenile/Young Adult section, the Peter Mills Electronic Classroom and Library Information Services office. Please ask in the office if you need help while upstairs.

And to help with the staircases:

The elevator goes to every floor (but no staircase does).
The blue and green staircases go to the book basement, first floor, and second floor.
The red staircase goes to the first floor, mezzanine, and third floor.
The yellow staircase goes to the first floor, second floor, and third floor.
The pink staircase goes from the reference area of the first floor to the mezzanine
(The last staircase - orange - goes to what is now a staff area.)
