Library Spotlight
The library's building will be closed to the public the week of July 6th – 10th due to planned maintenance. For safety reasons, no one will be allowed in the building, including library staff.
Librarians will remain available by phone & e-mail that week, but we may experience some interruption in connectivity. As a result, our response time to calls and e-mails may be longer than normal. We appreciate your patience! Our website, library account services, and remote databases will remain available.
No library materials will be due during this week, and overdue materials will not accrue any fines while we are closed.
We plan to reopen with normal business hours on Monday, July 13th, at 8 a.m. We will update our website and social media if there are any changes.
Not sure where to start with your legal research? We can help! Our Recommended Series guide lists popular legal series available at the library.
These series often cover a common subject or theme. No matter what your research situation is, our guide can help you find what you are looking for.
Coming soon, we’ll be expanding our Ask a Librarian service with a convenient text messaging option. This feature will make it even easier to get answers to your legal research questions. Simply text us any time, and a librarian will respond during business hours.
Text a Librarian will complement our existing services. You’ll still be able to reach us by phone, e-mail, or in person, depending on what works best for you. Once the service launches, our Ask a Librarian page will have instructions on how to submit your questions by text. Our service is free to use, but messaging and data charges from your mobile carrier may apply.
