DUE TO FLU CONCERNS:
Our concern is keeping the library a healthy environment. You can help by: STAYING HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK, Covering your coughs and sneezes, Using antibacterial hand sanitizer; Throwing away your used tissues, Not using the library computers. People who appear sick may be asked to leave. Thank you for helping to keep the library a safe environment for all!!
