• Sunday: 1PM-7PM
• Monday-Wednesday: 7AM-9PM
• Thursday: 7AM-7PM

Note that the library will be closed from December 14th-January 1st. Happy holidays!

Library Materials Due Back by December 13th

The last day of Fall Quarter is fast approaching. Before you take off for the holidays, please make sure to return, by December 13th, any Holman Library items that you have checked out. Faculty and staff can check out books for the break. Students can also check out books, providing they show proof of registration for Winter Quarter. The library will be closed during the quarter break; however, the book drop will be open. Items returned to the book drop will be processed on the day that they are turned in. If you have questions, please contact the circulation desk at extension 2090. Enjoy your break, and we will see you back on January 2nd for the first day of winter classes!
