Please note, however, that from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., access will be limited to the first floor, and the circulation desk will be closed.  Full library access will begin at 11:00 a.m.  All other library hours remain the same.

Remember, additional study space outside the library is available in rooms W504, W505, W120, WA10, WA11, as well as in the cafeteria and the W1 lobby.

Beginning Monday, April 6, the library will have extended study hours. That schedule will be posted on April 1.

Lights out? Food odors? No power? Noisy students?

These are some of the most bothersome issues that can interrupt your studying and concentration in the Library. The Librarians can help to resolve them but we have to know they exist.  Please contact the reference or circulation desk in person on L1, or email [email protected] or [email protected] with details. We want to make sure that your Library time is as productive and stress-free as possible. If it annoys you, it concerns us.
