We are happy to announce that beginning Monday, February 22nd, the Library will open for in-person browsing without the need for an appointment.

As a reminder, occupancy will be capped and visits will be limited to 20-30 minutes for browsing the stacks, checking out materials, getting reference assistance or using the copiers and printers. If you have a question, feel free to ask us! Computer appointments can be made for up to 40 minutes and Chromebooks can be checked out for use at home.
