Hopefully your semester is off to a good start. We are so happy to see more students back in the Library this semester! Library services are operating close to normal (slightly reduced hours). Computers, printing, study space and research services are all available to students. No appointment necessary! Students are asked to sign-in and out. We are looking for student workers to help provide service to our students so if you know of any good candidates, send them our way! Libraries are a great place to work (but contrary to popular thought we don't sit around and read all day)!
