Hello hello! I am here to let you know that this Monday, September 2nd, is Labor Day. Here at Hirsh Library, that means the desk will only be open from Noon until 7pm. So if you need any assistance or even just a phone charger, that’s the time to come visit us!
The building itself will be open its regular hours for scan access and studying.
Have a great weekend, enjoy the remaining days of summer, and we will see you in September!
