Recarpeting Project Update

Update: The project is moving along at an amazing speed for such a large job. Hallett Movers have been moving the books stacks and many books have been temporarily stored in boxes. Carpet squares are being laid, dust is flying, and the entire floor is an active and hazardous work zone.

The G through Z call number range is inaccessible at this time. It is unsafe for anyone but the moving and carpet crews to be in the area. We can help locate other material through the I-Share online catalog or in area libraries.

Barring any unforeseen problems, the project will be completed by May 31.

Thank you for your patience. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

The 3rd floor recarpeting project is still underway. See the hard workers move shelves full of books:

Recarpeting Project / 3rd floor Access

Please note that the re-carpeting project on the Library's third floor has begun.

Books on the upper floor will be inaccessible for the duration of the project. The project is expected to last two weeks. This means any books from the G thru Z call number range are not available.

You may still request items from other institutions through the online catalog for delivery to Parkland Library.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the Library. Any further updates will be posted to the blog.

Silent Zone : Study Day / Finals Week

Would you like to study without distraction? Head on up to the 3rd floor of the library on Study Day or for Finals Week. This is the Silent Zone, so there shouldn't be any talking, whispering, snoring, cell phones ringing...noise of any kind.

Danger Danger

Do you like your stuff? You know, that lovely laptop of yours or that crazy cool iPhone you just got? Or silly things like credit cards? We all like those things, so now is the time to be aware.

Watch your stuff because chances are someone else is watching it too.

So, don't run off to the bathroom or to the print station without keeping track of your stuff. Library staff cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items.

Theft happens all the time...especially at the end of a semester. Don't let it happen to you.
