Operation “No Pain, No Shain.” is underway with construction moving full steam ahead! Some things we can look forward to when it reopens are: enhanced technology, an updated Blue Camel Cafe that will have a 24 hour study space, more outlets for your electronic chargers (because let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than your computer dying on you mid-paper), and more group study spaces. As excited as we are about the great renovations being done on our beloved library, the lack of a central study spot can be a bit of a headache. Read on to learn more about checking out materials, finding computer labs, and snagging the best study spots to make your year a little easier!
