Libraries officials have met with engineers from Facilities Management to determine steps necessary for securing the Main Library and it’s collections against the rising flood waters. The area of most concern is the lower level storage facilities which include Special Collections materials.

Beginning at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11, the fifth floor study lounge in the Main Library will be closed. The lounge will be used as a temporary storage space for materials at risk of being flooded in the lower level.

Crews of students will be moving these materials using the Elevator D near the South entrance. We encourage people using the Main Library to utilize the other elevators in the building.

Further information about flood preparations in the Libraries will be posted here on the Library News.
