McCabe Library, Swarthmore College

• Restroom

  All-gender: Yes

  2nd floor, near the center stairs. If you need the elevator to go upstairs, follow the length of the circulation desk and turn left and then right into a short hallway; the elevator is back there. The library is open to the public during the day, although guests are asked to sign the guest register. Library staff are helpful and will be glad to point you to the restroom without judgment. If anyone gives you a funny look about asking for the unisex restroom, it's not because they are judging you. Rather, we had someone spray graffiti in that restroom twice in the 2016-2017 school year. The person turned lookout to be a member of the public, not part of the College. So, there may be an initial pause if a guest asks for the bathroom, but it is not a judgment of you; it is our own history we're thinking about. You are welcome to use our bathroom.

A closure, a safety concern or a wrong detail: telling us keeps the next person safe. We aim to look at reports within 72 hours.
