Patron Comment About Library Hours

One of our patrons recently commented:

"I think it's ridiculous that the library closed at 8pm on Friday of finals week when there are finals on Saturday as well..when the rest of the week it stayed open until 1 am considering the library is necessary for studying."

Library Director David Schoen responds:

"I'm sorry that you needed the Library and we weren't open. We will look at attendance statistics to determine if we were mistaken in closing."

Patron Comment About History Collection

One of our patrons recently commented:

"As a graduating senior from the department of history, I have really appreciated the help of the library staff over the last four years. I have one suggestion for the type of books the library should buy (especially for history): more primary source and document reader books from a spectrum of time periods. Many of the papers history students write need primary sources to give weight to their arguments. Thanks!"

Library Director David Schoen responds:

"Thank you for taking the time to point this out. I think you are right. We will work on improving that aspect of the collection this summer."
