Welcome back!!!

It is end of January and the new, spring semester, has started, and the Library is ready to welcome students, teachers and all others looking for a book, a computer, a quite place to study, a place to work together or to take a break from work, read a journal or check the internet.

There have been some changes in the Library during the break: we have redesigned the space in the library to make it more user-friendly. The computers have been spread out throughout the Library--there are now computers near the Periodicals and Circulation, as well as near the East part of the second floor.

Some of the computers are by the South entrance as well.

The space by the South entrance now also includes tables convenient for laptop use, as well as armchairs and small tables, and several large tables.

Enjoy your work and time spent in the Library.

Library Hours are:

Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Sunday Closed
