Parking
When coming to Brown Library, please try to park on McNeil Drive, or if you have an ADA tag you can park in lot 11 or 12. Then enter Brown by the side door on the ground floor facing parking lot 12. Or, you can take the road that goes up behind the Library and park in lot 13, the first parking lot on the left. From there, take the sidewalk and stairs back down to the Library. Do not walk in the road! It is too dangerous. Consult the Virginia Western parking regulations for more information.
