  • Library Location and Hours:
    Our books are located in the back of the Geology Library at the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDoF),
    900 Natural Resources Drive, Fontaine Research Park, Charlottesville.  As you enter DoF turn left, and walk past Aromas down the hall to the double doors of the Geology Library.  Once inside, keep left and walk back to the small space where our books are kept in a locked metal cabinet.  Geology is open Monday-Thursday, 8-4:30.  

  • The CATS book cabinet key is in a small black magnetic box on the back of the cabinet.  Always lock the cabinet after using the library and and return the key to where you found it. Thanks!

  • Check-outs:  write your name, book title(s), and date on the clipboard log sheet located on the chair next to the bookcase. Books are checked out for six weeks.   Renewals: email apbe4n@gmail.com

  • Returns: record the check-in date on the log sheet and re-shelve book(s) in proper call number order in the cabinet.
