Time to Hit the Books

Thanksgiving is over, classes have resumed, and FINAL EXAMS lurk right around the corner.  So it's time to get down to business and spend some quality time in the Library.


We know you need to make every hour count, so for the last week of classes and the week of final exams the Library will once again offer EXTENDED HOURS.  During this period the Library will open early and close late.  Check the Library Website for complete list of hours for finals and intersession.

The Library will be open:

December 3 - 6: 8AM - 11PM

December 7:   8AM - 5PM

December 8:  9AM - 4PM

December 10 - 13:  8AM - 11PM

December 14:  8AM - 5PM

December 15:  9AM - 4PM

"Exam Cram" snacks will be provided in the evenings courtesy of the Student Government Association.

Cook up a Feast!

And your Library can help.  It's that time of year when people begin to think about Turkey and stuffing and making gravy and what to do about green beans.  So check out one of these titles on holiday prepration, food cultures,  or just a plain cook book.  Maybe you, too, can whip up Thanksgiving dinner like Julia Child!
