Meet in the Newberry Library lobby - use front doors, as back doors are locked.
Please check in with Alison Hinderliter, your tour guide, who will meet you all in the lobby.
All coats and large bags will need to be stowed in lockers - we have free lockers in a room just off of the lobby near the guard's desk. No food or drink is allowed above the lobby level. You may bring cell phones to take pictures of collection items if you wish.
For those interested in meeting for lunch, Alison will be leading a group to Doma after the tour.
**Note: Parking is not available at the library. Validated parking is available at the 100 West Chestnut Street garage. $12 for up to eight hours; after eight hours, regular rates apply. Limited metered parking can be found on area streets through the Park Chicago app.
Public transit is encouraged; the Newberry is walking distance from the Chicago/State and Clark/Division stops on the Red Line; a slightly longer hike from the Chicago stop on the Brown Line. Nearby bus lines include the 22 Clark, the 36 Broadway, the 70 Division, and the 66 Chicago.
