ADA Accessible Parking

A parking lot is across from the Thun Library but a steep incline separates them. A ramp from the parking lot to a sidewalk that leads to the library is available. There are four accessible parking spaces in this lot.

Public Transit

A BARTA bus stop is located in the Franco parking lot on campus (two buildings down from the library) and provides transportation in various locations around Reading.
