Special hours for reading days and exams
Beginning Friday November 30 through Monday December 17, the library will be open daily from 7am to 1am so you can study late. Please be extra mindful of the need for quiet during this stressful time.
(Note that the day after Thanksgiving, Friday November 23, the library will only be open 9am to 5pm, with no librarian on duty. You can always check special library hours at our website.)

In order to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to use the study rooms, no renewals will be allowed from now until the end of the semester. After turning in your room, you will have to wait 15 minutes to check out another room.
