Brackett Library Wants To Serve You

Brackett Library has been busy since the beginning of the semester.  The Library has been open 82 days this semester and has had 123,690 visits to the library, on top of the 66,290 visits to the Library web home page.

Our eight librarians, seven staff members and forty student workers have all taken the time to be prepared and enjoy serving you and our students.  The following is just a small list of ways that we can assist both faculty and students:

• Recommend a Book – This link can be found on the right hand side of the library home page.  If there is an item that you think the library should consider purchasing, just fill out the information for us.

• Research Help – There is a librarian or trained staff (our Information Assistant) available for you 74 hours a week.  (The library is open 84 hours a week so librarians are happy to schedule a time to meet with you if needed).

• Study Space – The library is a place where you can settle in for some study time.  Downstairs provides a space to work in small groups while upstairs is for those who like it a little quieter.

• Suggestion Box – A link can be found down on the right hand corner of the library home page.  Your input matters!

What’s next?  We are already thinking ahead to one of our busiest times – Dead week and Finals Week!  And what are we thinking? Some possibilities are extended hours, late night snacks, and bringing therapy dogs to the library to help relieve a little bit of the stress!
