Big things are happening overhead!
We're replacing the library roof, so over the next few days Brownell may be a little noisier than usual — and our lockers, main entrance, and book drop may be inaccessible at times. However, if we're open, lockers are always accessible from inside the building.
Work is weather-dependent, but we hope to wrap up within a week. Thanks for your patience — we appreciate you!
