Renovations Update
September 1, 2009
For Immediate Release
Thanks to a private donation from Susan and Steve Raybourn, the Reference and Circualtion Desk area of the first floor will receive a major renovation during the fall 2009 semester. Work is expected to continue throughout the fall semester. .
After the remodel, the two areas will be combined in a wraparound desk with reference service at one end and circulation check out at the other. The new service desk will open up the first floor and increase the visibility of staff who are there to help.
This project is part of an ongoing effort to transform the library’s first floor. The primary goal is to consolidate services and offer students quick access to the resources they use most often: computers, study rooms and help from librarians.
