The Library is Moving
The Paul and Rosemary Trible Library will be moving this summer to
a temporary home. Staff and selected
services
and collections will move into the old Student Union after it is
vacated in
July. We will remain there until
construction on the new library is complete. This will help speed up
construction and reduce disruptions due
to
construction and renovation (such as removing part of the roof) of the
existing
space.
The books will remain in the old library and that part of the library will be open for limited hours during the day. Check back for continuing updates. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Sellen, University Librarian at 594-7130 or email mary.sellen@cnu.edu.
