Update on Computer Lab Closing

The library's computer lab closed for some much needed remodeling on September 3rd with expectations of having it back up and running this week. Due to circumstances beyond our control, it now looks like we'll have to push that opening back about three weeks! Please continue to go to lab T-315 in the Pirtle Technology building for your computer needs. However, if you only need to print, please stop at the library's circulation desk and the library staff will assist you. Thanks for your patience!
