News & Events

On this day, many people in the United States will pay tribute to officers who lost their lives or were injured in their jobs.   President John F Kennedy signed the memorial day bill into law on October 1, 1962. Each year, the president of the United States proclaims May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week of each year during which such May 15 occurs as Police Week.  

Thank an officer today for their willingness to put their health and life on the line.

All of our library services are available over the summer. Our library doesn't close.   You may see various staff members out of the office on vacation at different times, but we try to maintain our hours at least during the day 8:00 am until 4:30 pm on campus, we continue to receive paper proofreading and homework assistance requests, and we even work with summer courses.   If a campus is understaffed at one particular time, please forgive us – we're working hard somewhere.   Enrolled students have off-campus access to library databases 24/7.

If a campus closes due to maintenance - such as an unexpected water main break or a scheduled roof repair – the library and ACE close.  We're also closed on institutional federal holidays:  Monday, May 26 - Memorial Day; Thursday, June 19 - Juneteenth; and Friday, July 4 - Independence Day. 

Please stop by if you have a chance.   If you're going on vacation, you can check out a book over the summer or pick up supplies.  We hope to see you soon!
