Hardin’s stacks on the 4th floor are open to the public.  Users will no longer be able to request pickup at Hardin Library for books that Hardin Library owns.  You can still request office delivery for Hardin Library materials, or have the materials sent to another University of Iowa Library for pickup.

Quiet study rooms have reopened on the 4th floor.  10 rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The University of Iowa Family Services  has childcare subsidy programs available to qualifying students.

The regular child care subsidy program  helps students with the cost of their regular, ongoing child care.  Normally, the child care is scheduled Monday through Friday, daytime hours.  For those students who have regularly scheduled evening classes, an application for these funds can also be submitted.

The evening/weekend study child care program provides funding to help student parents hire a friend or babysitter to care for their child so that they can study, write a paper, do research or participate in a study group on evenings/weekends.

For information about these programs, see http://www.uiowa.edu/hr/famserv/childcare/ccsubsidy/index.html .

If you need time to study for finals, there is another program available though a partnership between UI Family Services and Little Angels Preschool.  For information see http://www.uiowa.edu/hr/famserv/childcare/finals_childcare.html .
