Pulled a book off the shelf, but aren’t going to check it out? Leave it on one of the green painted shelves located on each floor, typically on the outside corners of the general collection. Items are picked up periodically by a library staff member, counted, and re-shelved– thanks for helping us out!
The Seminar Room on the second floor of the Library will become a Quiet Study Zone March 11-13 & 17-19 from 8pm-Closing and all day on the weekends (March 9, 15 & 16). The Library Classroom on the main level of the Library will become a Group Study Zone. This will be in effect March 10 – 14 & 17-19 from 2pm-Closing and all day on the weekends (March 9, 15 & 16). There are also free ear plugs available at the Circulation Desk, Reference Desk, or the Tech Desk to help with blocking out extra sound.
Come see the Black History book display on the main floor of the library. Check out titles containing poems or plays written by Black authors, volumes that cover the impact of Black music on American culture, or the collected papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., among others.
As soon as the Circulation Desk recieves a held item, a patron has a week to come the the Library and check it out. Some notices are being sent to patrons informing them that they have only a day to pick up their items. We are working to fix this issue as soon as possible. In the mean time, please disregard the same day pick up notice. All patrons still have the alloted week to get their items. We apologize for any inconvenience and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
