A Snapshot of the Library for Fall 2020

Greetings everyone!!  There are a few things we want you to know about library operations this Fall.

• The library reading room is being used as a classroom.  Students will enter and leave via the main Kaelber Hall entrance.  When there are no classes, the Reading Room will be closed and not available for access.
• The library will function as two separate sections: the library lobby/seminar room and the stacks (since the Reading Room is a classroom this Fall).  Each section has a separate entrance, and you will not be able to travel from one section to the other inside the library.
