It’s going to be a busy Spring semester

Many classes are scheduled in Library 103 (Mac Lab) and Library 110 (Media Classroom) during the Spring semester. Our building schedule (also available as a link in the purple Your Library box on our website) will show you if a class is meeting in the Mac Lab (Library 103) or the main entry floor PC lab.  This can help you plan when to come to the library if you need to use a computer. If classes are scheduled in our labs, we recommend going to the Hubbard computer lab.

The lower level of the building is the best place to go if you need a quiet space to study. If you are working with others on project, we request you use the learning commons area or once of the study rooms.

Please let us know if you are trying to find a place to study. We are more than happy to show you the options available depending on your need.
