Come visit us
We are in the Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago. Go in the main entrance, but don't go into the library proper (i.e., don't go through the turnstiles). Instead, head towards the SW corner of the entrance area and look for the secret stairway that will lead you downstairs. If you get lost, just ask the nice folks at the entry control desk. (Note: you may want to check our hours before visiting.)
eX Libris is hanicapped-accessible for Library patrons: If you would like such accomodations, contact the Vice President and Dean of Students in the University for more information.
Can I get to Ex Libris from inside the library?
Nope. You have to exit via Entry Control on the first floor, then head downstairs. (OK, this isn't strictly true--library staff have a secret entrance via the staff lounge. It's a perk for having to work in the Reg.)

I want to go someplace else for coffee!
We understand: although one should never want to leave the Reg, occasionally we all must venture from the Library to preserve our sanity. If you must leave, we encourage you to patronize the other student-run coffee shops on campus:
- Hallowed Grounds, on the second floor of the Reynolds Club. Imagine Ex Libris, only with carpet, TVs, pool tables, and foosball.
- The Cobb Coffee Shop, in the basement of Cobb Hall. The cheapest coffee and bagels on campus.
- Brew, adjacent to the USITE computer lab in Crerar's lower level. Our little brother, who has a tendency to stay up late.
The University also maintains a list of campus dining places.
You'll be back soon, won't you?
