Good news; the third floor stacks are open! We are still happy to help you find books at the main service desk, but if you would like to browse or retrieve your own books, you are welcome to do so.
Due to the roof project happening, there will be limited access to the third floor stacks. If you need a book, please inquire at the service desk, send in a request via Ask-A-Librarian, or call us. All of the study spaces and seating will remain available through the project.

The first floor library entrance/exit is currently closed due to overhead roof construction. We apologize for any convenience and appreciate your patience as the roofing project continues!
