Letter from the Library Dean: Library Renovation!

Hi all:
The library will undergo a massive renovation this summer.  To complete this by fall semester, the library will relocate to the Reading Center on the Second Floor of the IMC Building beginning June. Our regular summer hours may be found on our webpage.

Here’s what we can offer this summer through “Kolwyck Library Lite”

Circulation Services:  You can check out & return materials in the circulating collection, reserve readings, and those requested through Interlibrary Loan.  You may request books that the library has beginning JUNE 1 through this form and we will retrieve from storage.  We promise no more than a 24 hour turn-around time for pick up, excluding weekends.

Reference Services: A reference librarian will be available all the hours that “Library Lite” is open.

Computer Access and Printing:  At least 23 dedicated computers for library services.  Also available: copier, print station and technical assistance.

Library Instruction “Lite”:  Normal Library Instruction classes will be suspended until Fall. However, we still want to provide for your classes.  Contact your librarian for alternatives. 

Library Staff:  Library staff will remain in their current offices during the renovation.  Please use the back entrance (1st door to the left past Student Advising) when visiting us.

We thank you for your patience with our abbreviated services!  We are so excited about our renovation and want to thank everyone that has made this possible… especially Dr. Catanzaro, Dr. Hewlett, and Tammy Swenson!

Also thanks to Michele Hough, the Reading Center, Darrin Hassevoort, and Joel Henderson for graciously allowing us to use part of their space!!  You are lifesavers!

Best,
Susan

McKamey Animal Center Furry Friends!

The McKamey Animal Center and the Library sponsored two events in May.  On Friday May 3rd, McKamey brought two furry friends outside of the library for students and staff to pet and interact.


And Bentley the Therapy Dog came inside the library on May 7th. He was available for pet therapy for the students in our "stress free zone."  Bentley also enjoyed being "Bentley the Reference Librarian!"



Thank you McKamey Animal Center for participating in the Library's Stress Free Zone!
