Upcoming Events
Real Mail Fridays
The library has asked us to fire up the press for a take-home print in honor of National Library Week, so we're doing just that. Come by to print with us on Tuesday April 21 between the hours of 12 noon and 2 PM. In honor of the day, we're printing a quote by John Adams. (The hours are short, we know, but this is a Florida Atlantic University Libraries event, so the hours are being dictated to us. If you can't make it to this event, worry not: You'll have another opportunity to make this print at the Convivio Bookworks Wayzgoose, which is set for Friday August 22 through Sunday August 24 at Convivio Bookworks, 1110 North G Street, Lake Worth Beach, FL 33460.)
The Jaffe Center for Book Arts is located on the third floor east of Florida Atlantic University's Wimberly Library. From I-95 or the Florida Turnpike, exit Glades Road, east. The FAU campus is located just east of I-95. If you enter the campus at FAU's main entrance (the one furthest west on Glades Road... and the first one you get to approaching from I-95 or the turnpike), you will enter on West University Drive. Continue straight on West University Drive to the traffic light at its intersection with Volusia Street. Turn right onto Volusia Street. You will see a parking garage on Volusia Street, and the Wimberly Library is the next building east of the parking garage.
The I-95 interchange for Florida Atlantic University (Exit 48A) takes you directly from the interstate to FAU. Once you pass the traffic light at Spanish River Boulevard, you are on the FAU campus on FAU Boulevard. Continue to the traffic signal at the intersection of FAU Boulevard and University Drive (FAU Stadium will be on your right). Turn right onto University Drive. Turn left at the traffic signal at Volusia Street. You will see a parking garage on Volusia Street, and the Wimberly Library is the next building east of the parking garage.
Visitors to the FAU campus must pay at the meters or use the ParkMobile app (or visit https://parkmobile.io/) to park on campus. Both are available 24/7. There are no visitor decals or badges.
Visitors using the ParkMobile app or website may park in any of the yellow or blue lots. Blue spots are designated by normal white lines on the ground. Parking Garage 1, which is the garage adjacent to the Library, is a blue lot.
The ParkMobile parking zone for the library's parking lot (Lot 19/20) is Zone 6927. The parking zone for Parking Garage 1, which is the building just west of the library, is Zone 6931.
Vehicles paying by physical meter must park in the yellow metered lot and spaces. These will have yellow lines on the ground as well as “Pay By Plate” signs in front of each. These are found in Lot 19 in front of the Library.
Parking is $2.50 per hour. There is no free parking on campus. The meters and ParkMobile accept credit cards as a payment method.
There is no backing in on campus; vehicles must be parked nose-in. Vehicles must park in designated parking spots as well. There is no parking in the grass, streets, roads, loading zones etc. allowed.
Our campus maps of parking can be found: Maps (fau.edu)
Everyone entering and leaving FAU’s Wimberly Library must be swiped in and out, using their FAU Owl Card. For visitors, once you’re inside the lobby of the building, let the folks at the front desk know you are here for the Jaffe Center and they will grant you access. (This may involve waving at the front desk crew to get their attention.)
2 to 5 PM Eastern, from wherever you are, via Zoom
We've built such a wonderful global community since we began beaming Real Mail Fridays out to the world through our weekly online JCBA Zoom socials, and it is truly humbling and heartwarming to see friends join us each week and new folks, too, from all corners of this vast planet. In that spirit, we have no plans to end our weekly Zoom version of Real Mali Fridays. We welcome you.... Please join us!
