Combining Circulation and Reference Services
We've made some changes to streamline user services and create a more personalized experience for our users.
The circulation and reference desks were consolidated so you can now get all the help you'll need in one place at one desk.
That means you'll be able to get a study room, a stuffed animal, a calculator, research assistance, and anything else you may need at the same time.
