Welcome to the spring semester! The calendar says “spring," but that thermostat says otherwise. Either way, the library is open and warm!  Here’s where to find us right now: CCC 130 — Study space, book browsing, games, material checkout, and reliable indoor heat. CCC 104 — Research help from librarians!  TNR 110 (University Archives) — Campus history, cool old stuff, special collections, and more. Use the library homepage  to access our materials, see what's new, and find helpful services.  This semester’s big shift: the new library building opens later this spring, sometime after Spring Break. It’s close enough to feel real now. If you need help with anything, please stop by the Circulation or Reference Desk and ask. We are happy to help!   Welcome to the semester!
