Thanks to a generous donation from the Student Government Association, the library is getting an update. This spring, the first-floor periodicals area will gain a fireplace, a lounge seating area, booths, new tables and chairs, and more. Removal of the reference desk near the library’s entrance will begin on March 7, and construction will begin March 14 and continue throughout the month. During this time, the first floor area may be inaccessible, so please use other study areas in the library. The library suggests signing up for a study room or using Robers Silent Study. To get to the second floor, you may need to use the elevator.

Students: the library wants your feedback. Fill out the library survey you received in your e-mail by Thursday, March 24. One respondent will receive a basket of goodies from the library.

The ACHA-NCHA survey that was to be sent to all students on March 28–March 11 will be changed to March 28–April 8 due to issues at the American College Health Association. Watch for this important survey on the new dates.
