Summer Term has arrived!

Welcome to summer! Beginning June 9, the library will be open the following hours:

Monday - Thursday: 8:00am - 10:00pm
Friday: 8:00am - 5:00pm
Saturday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm

Faculty book order notices now to be e-mailed!

Starting June 1, the Library will begin sending notifications of "Books you ordered that are now available in the library" via email rather than paper. The email will be titled BSC Library. There will be one email per book. We might, on occasions when a large number of books you have ordered come in at one time, still send you paper notices so we do not overwhelm your email. Thanks. Steve Laughlin

Library hours between terms

Summer school begins on Wednesday, June 9. Until that time, the BSC library will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will be closed on the weekends and on Monday, May 31, for Memorial Day.

We hope everyone is enjoying the break between terms!
