The Library is pleased to announce that room 401C on the Gravier side of the building is back in service as a study room which brings the Library up to 9 study rooms. We are hoping to have 3 more rooms that had been repurposed into offices post-Katrina, restored to study room use by the end of the year.
The monitor is not yet installed in this room but should be in the next 2 weeks.
