Don’t forget Cooper Library will be closed on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving Break. All the hours for the branch libraries and service points are posted, so check them before you decide to visit.
As always, the libraries webpage never takes a vacation and is never closed.
The weblog postings will be on intermittent next week because of Thanksgiving Break. Look for new updates and Daily Photos again on Monday, November 30.
It’s that time of year when you need a jacket or sweatshirt in the morning, but by afternoon it’s hot. So you take it off and often leave it somewhere. Plus there’s all the STUFF we carry with us; cell phones, calculators, usb drives, umbrellas, etc. Where do you look if you think you’ve lost something in the library?
The Circulation Desk is home base for all lost and found items. If you find something, take it there. If you’ve lost something, check there first!
Try to put you name on anything and everything you carry with you. The nice people at the Circulation Desk will try to contact you and let you know they have your lost stuff.
If you owe the library any money for overdue fines, lost books, etc.; and you are graduating in December, you must pay up by Monday, November 30.
If you aren’t sure if you have any fines, check My Library Account. If you have any questions concerning your account, please go to the Circulation Desk on the 4th floor.
The Clemson University Libraries is sponsoring an Angel Tree in the lobby of Cooper Library again this year.
There are over 100 tags on the tree this year. Each tag represents one child. The children are from the agencies of Clemson Head Start, Seneca Head Start, and the Salvation Army in Oconee County.
Head Start is a non-profit, federally funded preschool program for children ages 0-4. This program provides quality comprehensive service to preschool children, their families, and pregnant women.
If you would like to sponsor a child from the Angel Tree:
Well, we want to hear it! And here’s how you do it. Go to our online Suggestion Box and vent or compliment to your heart’s content. The suggestions can be anonymous; but if you’d like a reply, fill out the form with your information and someone will be in touch.
We also have an old school, paper suggestion box in the lobby of Cooper.
Use either or them. Or both. We’d love to know what you think!
Parts of the 2nd floor are closed for construction/destruction. This is part of the compact shelving project. It will be extremely noisy while the end panels are removed from the shelves.
You might want to study on a different floor.
And before you ask…Yes! The compact shelving project will be suspended during exam week. No worries!
