Elisabeth C. Miller Library

UW Botanic Gardens grounds are open to visitors. However, all buildings are closed.

The Library is closed to in-person patrons until further notice. We will continue to answer reference questions via email or the online form. Email is preferred for questions involving plant identification.

The Library book drop has reopened, so you may return your borrowed materials any time. We are now offering contactless pickup of holds on Tuesdays from 12:30-2:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon. In order to place holds, you will need to return all borrowed items. Learn how to borrow books and schedule a pickup.

Sorry, we cannot accept book and magazine donations until further notice.

UW Botanic Gardens continues to follow all advice and directives set forth by the University of Washington, which are detailed at length on the UW Novel Coronavirus Information Page.
