Wrapping up
You see what I did right there? I amuse myself...As I walked in this chilly morning I noticed a distinct reduction in activity and cars in the parking lots, which just goes to show - all good things must come to an end. The many end of the years holidays are upon us, and I wish you the best in all that you do. As things slow down, Elaine Boyd Library's hours change, and my last message contained some inadvertent errors. So, here's the latest intel on our hours until 2026 begins.
The library will close at 5:00 pm on Friday, December 12, and re-open at 9:00 am on Monday, Dec 15 to close at 3:00 PM.
Tuesday - Thursday Dec 16-18 10:30 am to 3:00 pm; virtual service (email library@rmu.edu for your questions) on Friday, December 19.
We will then close fully until January 5, 2026, along with the rest of the university.
Happy Holidays and New Year from all of us at Elaine Boyd!
