Mills Memorial Library and H.G. Thode Library of Science and Engineering are open for the fall term, with several important updates to note.
Masking will continue to be strongly encouraged, but not required, inside campus buildings like libraries.
New this fall is dedicated masks-on study spaces in Mills and Thode libraries to accommodate students who prefer to wear their masks indoors. These areas will feature extra masks, wipes, and a limited number of public computers. Locations are listed below.
This fall also marks the return of both food and beverages being allowed in Mills and Thode libraries. The Reactor Café in Thode library will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Vending machines in library spaces are now functional and restocked.
