For the next few weeks, access to the Sherman Fairchild Library basement will be limited. It will not be available as a study area. Book shelves are being dismantled and new carpet is being laid. If you need to access books held in the basement, see circulation staff or a librarian at the reference desk. We will do our best to try to ease the impact of this work on our users.
