Library Renovation Begins July 6

July 1, 2026 by Haley Galloway

Starting July 6, 2026, Landers Library & Archives will begin a renovation project that will continue through the fall semester.

What’s changing

  • Study rooms will be unavailable for patron use during construction.
  • All first floor services will move to the second floor for the duration of the project. Signage will be posted throughout the building to help direct you to relocated services.

Finding the circulation desk

The circulation service desk will be located on the second floor, where the periodicals are.

From the stairs: Take the stairs from the first to second floor, go past the windows, then take a left — the desk will be on your right. Signage will be posted to help direct you.

From the elevator: Take the elevator from the first floor to the second floor. When you exit, go straight past the stacks and windows, then take a left — the desk will be on your right.

The elevator will remain in service throughout the summer and the start of the fall semester.

What’s staying the same

Our hours will remain the same throughout the summer, so you can count on us being open and available even as work gets underway.

Summer Hours

Day Hours
Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Saturday – Sunday Closed

Stay in the loop

We’ll be posting updates on spaces, availability, and closures as they happen. Follow us on Instagram for real-time updates, or check the Library News Blog.
