Brief

Fire sprinklers to be installed in Kroch this semester: Fire sprinklers will be installed in Kroch Library beginning this month. Contractors will begin their work on or about Feb. 21, with an expected completion date currently set for July 8. The library will remain open while most of this work is happening, but it will be necessary to close certain areas of the building for short periods of time.

Note: There will be no staff or patron access to the B1 stacks or the Rare and Manuscript 2B stacks (vault) from March 18 at 5 p.m. until March 28 at 7 a.m.

Patrons are asked to plan ahead, since access to material in those areas will not be possible. This means getting any books, serials, or newspapers from the stacks that you think you may need over spring break before 5 p.m. March 18.

One additional closure, one of the L1 Asia stacks, is scheduled to occur from May 20 until June 9.
