 | Next time you are in the W.W. Hagerty Library, be sure to check out the Silent Spring exhibit case on the the first floor near the elevators. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring – the watershed event for public and congressional movement on environmental issues. |
“As crude as the cave man’s club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life–a fabric on the one hand delicate and destructible, on the other miraculously tough and resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways.” – Silent Spring, p 279.

Perhaps you’re wondering why the lower level of W. W. Hagerty has been closed…
“The Libraries escaped damage from both the earthquake and hurricane Irene, but unfortunately the tremendous amount of rain in the days following proved to be too much for the city’s drainage system, and we had some water damage in W. W. Hagerty’s lower level as a result. We are working with University Facilities to get the lower level re-opened as quickly as possible so that students can use the space, but also want to make sure that we are adhering to all appropriate safety measures,” Danuta A. Nitecki, Dean of Libraries said today.
The lower level is scheduled to re-open on Monday, September 19th. If, in the meantime, you need to access resources that are kept in the lower level, please alert a staff member at the circulation desk.
