The stairwell between Hagerty’s first and second floors is temporarily closed for reflooring. Please use the elevators to get between floors. We expect the stairs to reopen for use on Thursday the 17th.

Thanks for your patience while we beautify!

Yes.

We’re making a some noise in the library over break. We know, we know, we’re supposed to be quiet, but we have a good excuse: renovations.

During the break workers will be installing new lighting fixtures and ceiling tiles, and also doing some painting around Hagerty–especially on the second floor. It makes some noise, but we figure better now than when you’re trying to concentrate on school work.

Workers are also preparing to begin new carpet installation in January. We will keep the noise to a minimum and ensure that the carpeting process is as seamless as possible.

Thanks for your patience with the noise while we improve the library.

If you were on Hagerty’s first floor yesterday evening, you may have noticed that some work was being done on the ceiling tiles near the back of the building. This work will continue through the week around the perimeter of the first floor.

Fear not–work on the ceiling tiles will be suspended during exam week in order to avoid disturbing students. Until then, we appreciate your patience; we may have to ask you to move tables to make room for ladders.

Ah, Fall…how sweet it is.

Hagerty’s welcoming you back with candy. Meet us in the café between 5 and 6 today, check out the new interior design and food options, catch up with the library, and most important: eat candy.

See you there.

We gave some of our tables a jump on the break by moving them back into the café, where they can really relax.  This means:

a) there’s more space to move around and browse the leisure book and DVD collections near Hagerty’s main entrance. b) the café will reopen soon, at which time you’ll be able to move from library to lunch without ever having to go outside. This will also be a dedicated 24/7 study space. c) both A and B are correct.

Your answer: C.
Your grade: A+.

Happy Labor Day, and happy break.

Starting Monday August 24th, part of Hagerty’s 2nd floor stacks will be closed for renovation. Need a book between HG185 and JN1? Let someone at the Circulation Desk know and they’ll get it for you.

Not sure what your book’s call number is? Look it up in the catalog. You’ll see a note that says: “Area under renovation–request this item at the Circulation Desk.” If you don’t see this note, or if your book is outside the range between C and JX, feel free to browse yourself.

Renovation in the cafe is progressing swiftly, and this Saturday power to the entire Hagerty building will be shut off for even more progress.  Unfortunately, this means that the library will have to be closed on Saturday August 1st.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please hurry back at 10 o’clock Sunday morning, when we’ll reopen for regular operation.

Welcome back! We’re so glad to have you back for summer term. You may have noticed we made some changes while you were away. First, there are a lot more tables and chairs on the first floor of Hagerty, and second, the Bookmark Cafe is now closed.

Bookmark Cafe has closed for a summer of renovations. Meanwhile, its furniture has moved into the main part of Hagerty’s first floor, making the library an even better place for studying comfortably, or just curling up with a leisure book in our breezy (but not too cold) air conditioning.

And stay tuned; this fall the cafe will reopen with updated decor and study-friendly fare.
