For the first time, Hagerty Library will be open around the clock during exam week. The Library will open at 7:30 am on Wednesday, June 6th, and will remain open until 11:00 pm on Friday, June 15th (see Library Hours).
To ensure student safety, students entering the Library after 2:00 am will swipe their DragonCards at the card reader next to the doors to enter. Two University Public Safety Officers will be on duty inside the building.
The Library also plans some treats for late night studiers — cookies and coffee will be offered at 10 each night, and the vending machines will be kept well-stocked. There will also be free screenings of classic (but campy!) movies beginning at midnight in Room L33 (the new Mary E. Hagerty Learning Lab on the lower level of the Library).
With funds set aside in next year’s budget for Hagerty Library renovations, Library Director Jane Bryan hopes to add a cafe to the first floor, which will function as a 24/7 space with a separate entrance.
Hagerty Library announces its “Ask Me!” program for research help. Temporary reference desks staffed by librarians will be appearing in the following locations:
- Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 3 to 5 p.m. in Creese Student Center lobby (32nd and Chestnut Streets)
- Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 3 to 5 p.m. in Starbucks Coffee at Pearlstein Learning Center (33rd and Market Streets)
All members of the Drexel community are encouraged to stop by these desks for help with research, citations, directions, and other questions.
