Browse our third floor stack area and take advantage of the many reading nooks that exist on each floor. Do you need a computer to check e-mails? There are 18 computers available for your use on the main floor or bring in your laptop to our wireless building. We hope you enjoy your time on campus and welcome you to our Library.
