The Libraries strives to create equitable, accessible, and welcoming library spaces that support the diverse learning and research needs of our users.

Please see our Library Locations pages for more information about spaces, features, technology, and collections in these locations.

Maps, Parking, and Entrances

Our Visit Us: Parking and Bus Service at JMU Libraries page offers helpful information about getting to JMU Libraries.

The JMU map includes accessibility information about parking, entrances, and building features for these library locations:

Accessible Public Transportation

Accessible public transportation to all library locations is available via Harrisonburg Department of Transportation’s (HDPT) Paratransit service. HDPT Paratransit is a wheelchair accessible service for JMU students, faculty, and staff who cannot use their own vehicle or a transit bus due to a temporary or permanent disability that impairs mobility.

Universal Restrooms

Rose Library has two universal restrooms. They are single-occupancy, accessible restrooms located within the Rose Library 24-Hour Space. A JMU Access Card (JACard) is required for entry to the 24-hour space.

Carrier Library has a universal restroom on each floor.

Learn about universal restrooms at JMU.

Accessible Technology Lab

Rose Library and Carrier Library each have an Accessible Technology Lab. Students, faculty, or staff interested in using the labs should contact the JMU Office of Disability Services (ODS).
