Parking by E. S. Bird Library on Waverly Avenue
The most direct option is public metered parking on the Waverly Street side of E. S. Bird Library, identified by Syracuse University Libraries for visitors (library.syracuse.edu). This places the car beside the library at 222 Waverly Avenue, rather than requiring a longer walk across University Hill.
Pay parking is also available in the University Avenue Garage, according to Syracuse University Libraries (library.syracuse.edu). The library is open to the public daily until 7 p.m. on regular business days, while people with a current, valid SU or SUNY-ESF affiliation can use extended hours (library.syracuse.edu). These access hours matter if you are deciding between a short metered visit and a longer garage stay.

Parksy Spaces Within Reach of ESBL

University Avenue Garage and the 305 Waverly Lot
The University Avenue Garage is the other named visitor option supplied by Syracuse University Libraries, with pay parking available for people coming to the library (library.syracuse.edu). Its location makes it a practical alternative when the Waverly Street meters are occupied or when a garage is preferable for a longer visit.
The map also identifies WBN and gives an event approach from Euclid Avenue to Comstock Avenue, then right onto the event route (cuse.com). These named facilities are separate from the two priced Parksy spaces listed nearby.
