Miller Library resumes Monday morning hours

Posted on October 5, 2012 by IT Librarian, Tracy Mehlin

Good news! Beginning Monday, October 8, 2012, the Elisabeth C. Miller Library resumes all the open hours that were lost due to the financial cutbacks of 2008-2009.

The last missing piece was Monday mornings. This means that through the academic year, the library will be open on Mondays from 9am-8pm. Others hours will continue as they have been: Tuesday through Friday, 9am-5pm, and Saturday, 9am-3pm.
