Book returns

A reminder that there may be patrons coming in this last week of finals with a lot of book returns (in some cases, even multiple bags with books). To avoid creating long wait times for other patrons who have quick check-ins/check-outs, we’ve placed a poster sign in front of the hallway next to the Circ desk letting patrons know that they have the option of returning books (not Course Reserves) in the Book Return bin down the hall. Please let patrons know that they have this option if the lines get long.

Location changes

Please be aware of some location changes in the library.

Newspapers are now on the 3rd floor in the open seating area.
