As the roof project progresses, there will be work on the skylight. During this time, the area underneath the skylight on the main floor is taped off for your safety. Please make sure to stay out of the taped off sections as you make your way through the building.
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.
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!
