• Library Delivery is a delivery service provided by the Penn Libraries to its faculty, staff, students and visiting fellows. It allows patrons to request delivery of on-shelf circulating items from one Penn library to another. This means you can have, for example, a book at the Museum Library delivered to the Library at the Katz Center; similarly, patrons also are able to request the delivery of a CAJS library book to, for example, the Fischer Fine Arts Library, from Van Pelt to the Library at the Katz Center, etc... Deliveries to and from the Library at the Katz Center and the campus libraries operate three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
