Summer 2022 Update for Hard Copy Course Reserves:

1. All reserve books will check out for the day, and will be due back when the library closes. They can be taken out of the building, as long as they are returned before closing. If they are not returned on time, there will be a fine because of the high demand of the books.
2. We will place personal copies of books and library copies on reserve, and we accept donations. We have limited funds for purchasing texts this year.
