Veteran's Day Holiday!

The Library will be open on Veterans Day (Tuesday November 11th) and once again we will be following the regular work schedule at the LC Desk. If you are planning to be absent, please remember that you will need to find a substitute to cover your shift.
.
We will also be following the regular LC Desk work schedule on Wednesday, November 12th rather than the Tuesday class schedule. In the event you have a shift that conflicts with one of your classes, please let Peter know by Monday, November 3rd so that we will have time to find replacement coverage for you.
.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Peter.

Stop the Presses....UPDATE!!

The Library's color printer near the Reference and Research Assistance Desk requires a different type of paper than the black and white printers. The paper required for the color printer has a bit of a shine and is a higher quality paper. It can be found in the bottom drawer beneath the headphones. Any questions, ask a supervisor!!!!

Printers & Copiers & Staplers, Oh My!


Please remember to check the paper supply in the printers and copiers periodically during your shift. Ideally, they should never run out of paper. The staple station should also be a certain stop on every rove.

Thank you for making this semester run as smoothly as it has thus far!

Columbus Day Holiday!!


This is a final reminder that although Monday, October 13th is a holiday and there are no classes, the Library will be open and the Monday work schedule in the Library will be in effect.

Please note that it is your responsibility to find another LC student to cover your shift in the event you will not be working your assigned shift that day.

Furthermore, even though the Monday class schedule will be in effect on Tuesday, October 14th, we will be following the Tuesday (not the Monday)work schedule in the Library. If this results in a scheduling conflict for you, please let me (or your supervisor) know no later than Monday afternoon (10/6) so that we can make arrangements for the coverage of your shift.

Election day is coming.....



The last day Massachusetts residents can register to vote is Oct 15th. For more information, please click here.
