BICLM Closures for renovations in 2025

Sullivant Hall, where the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum is housed, will soon undergo necessary renovations of the building’s HVAC system. We highly recommend checking our website before planning your visit between May 2025 and May 2026, as dates are subject to change.

See below for the scheduled closures:

Lucy Shelton Caswell Reading Room
Closed: May 5 – May 30, 2025

Our reading room staff will continue to offer support through the library’s online resources, email, phone, and research consultations as time permits.

BICLM Offices
Closed: July 16 – August 8, 2025

Please note that we will be unable to accept donations or meet for in-person consultations or tours at this time. Our staff will be available to reach by email.

Museum Galleries
Closed: November 17, 2025 – May 2026

Throughout this closure, the BICLM curators will be hard at work on a new reenvisioned Treasures exhibit that will open in Summer of 2026.

We apologize for any inconvenience these closures cause for our visitors and researchers. If you have any questions about this renovation, please reach out to cartoons@osu.edu, or 614-292-0538.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we embark on this project.
