The Return of Interlibrary Loan!
 
After an unusual summer without van delivery, we want to thank you for your understanding and empathy through this. We deeply thank our partner libraries who teamed up for a small consortium where dedicated peers, including our Nancy Crowell, put miles on their vehicles to make deliveries. It was a success!
I am pleased to announce that Minerva will resume interlibrary loans on September 3rd! We are in the process of updating and reorganizing procedures to pave the way for a smooth transition. There may be some adjustment period, so if you are able to test the waters with only a couple of holds at a time for the first few weeks, that would be most helpful!

One Cool Library Resource: Reserve a Study Room in Advance
Two small study rooms are available for reservation and are a good space for taking an online class or meeting someone by Zoom.
 
These rooms can be reserved immediately if nobody is using them and can be reserved for two hours each day (extensions available at the Reference Desk), and up to two weeks in advance.
