Holiday Hours
November and December bring a busy stretch of holidays, final exams, and end-of-semester activities. Help students plan ahead by announcing changes to your library's hours in advance. Sharing updated hours early gives students the information they need to organize their schedules and make the most of the library during this busy time.
