Library Announcements
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday, and everyone here at Elaine Boyd Library is thankful for YOU, our beloved patrons. While we're all returning to our traditions or making new ones, our staff will be working from home to serve you. We close the Research Room and our Library Help Desk on Friday, November 21 at 3:00 pm since so many of you will be home (or elsewhere!) enjoying your short and thankful break. Feel free to email us as individual librarians or at library@rmu.edu. The library chat function will also be available Monday and Tuesday, if you need any digital services from us. But, really, you should just be enjoying your time with friends and loved ones.
Eat some excellent foods! Yum yum. We reopen for regular hours Monday, December 1.
