If you’re looking for writing help in the evening, you’ve now got added options at the library. Starting this week, the Writing Center has added drop-in peer tutors to its roster of experts offering writing help in the library.

In addition to their regular schedule of by-appointment faculty writing help in the evening, the Writing Center’s peer tutors will be available to provide drop-in assistance three evenings a week, now through the first week of December. Swing by Hagerty Library, room 210. Here’s the peer help schedule:

Tuesdays, 6-9p.m.
Wednesdays, 5-8p.m.
Thursdays, 6-9p.m.

(Writing help won’t be available the week of November 21st, Thanksgiving week)

These hours are in addition to the Writing Center’s regular evening hours, which are by appointment only.

Schedule an appointment for faculty help by visiting the Writing Center website.

For peer help, just drop in. You’ll be glad you did!

Of course you conduct all your research at Hagerty library. Now you can stay here to get help pulling all that hard work into a grade A paper. Starting this week and running through the rest of the term, the Writing Center will hold evening and weekend hours in Rooms 125 and 126 on Hagerty’s first floor (hint: they’re behind the reference section).

Here’s the schedule:

And here’s a bonus: lot’s of the workshops will be co-taught with librarians from Hagerty to help you streamline the research and writing processes.
