Lights out? Food odors? No power? Noisy students?
These are some of the most bothersome issues that can interrupt your studying and concentration in the Library. The Librarians can help to resolve them but we have to know they exist. Please contact the reference or circulation desk in person on L1, or email [email protected] or [email protected] with details. We want to make sure that your Library time is as productive and stress-free as possible. If it annoys you, it concerns us.
Library Closed on Monday January 19, 2026
