What should you do in preparation for the Library closure?
If you plan to use electronic resources during the break, please make sure you can log in before the vacation begins. Checking on this in advance will give you time to ask for assistance. If you need physical resources during the winter break, the Library Staff asks you to plan ahead and retrieve them before 4 p.m. on Thursday, December 23, 2021.
