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!

Congratulations Class of 2019! All of us at the Hirsh Health Sciences Library applaud your hard-earned accomplishments and we wish you the best in your future endeavors! We look forward hearing about all the great work you will do.
Please note that the Library Service Desk will be closed this Saturday, May 18th, as there will be a reception for the graduates taking place.
Hello! Do you like to study? No? But you like it when you can check out chargers and stuff earlier/later than normal, right? Especially when you have to study? What if there’s also free coffee?
There we go.
Good news! The Hirsh Health Sciences Library will be having another three weekends of Extended Hours this spring, so you will have more time to check materials out and get help on the weekends!
On the following weekends, the desk on the 4th floor will be open 10am – 10pm:
Saturday, April 6th
Sunday, April 7th
Saturday, April 20th
Sunday, April 21st
Saturday, May 4th
Sunday, May 5th
We will also have free coffee for you all on the Saturdays! The coffee is scheduled to show up at 6pm, so so you can come take a quick study break and commiserate while you caffeinate.
Just so you know: this only applies to the staffed desk. The building itself has its normal operating hours, so you can still stay until midnight as normal.
If you have any questions you can feel free to swing by the desk on the 4th floor or call us at 617-636-6706. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you those three weekends!
Happy Studying!

Is cheese bad for you?
Cause weight gain, heart disease, diabetes?
In fact, no evidence of harm
Cheese appears neutral at worst, maybe beneficial for diabetes
Add to fruits, nuts, seeds, fish—even better
