As previously announced, new carpeting installation is currently underway on the first floor of the library and in some portions of the second floor. Library hours have been reduced during this project in order to allow the work to be done safely and before students return for the new semester.
Library hours for the remainder of this week are:
Wed–Fri, Aug 13-17 10 am – 5 pm
Due to last week’s flooding and the subsequent need to re-locate computer classes and related events, the computer lab located in Room 6418 will NOT be available after the library closes at 5pm as originally planned.
We apologize to the inconvenience caused by this disruption of service.
