Our spring semester intern #CharlieBear is just as thrilled as his new pal Sandy that WE ARE OPEN at last! He has seen hardly any visitors since he arrived last week, but now he can welcome EVERYONE that stops by the Front Desk while he #ChecksOut our #PatronServicesDepartment! pic.twitter.com/OnwhidzVvc

Update 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8: Schlow Library will remain closed on Tuesday, January 9. The library asks patrons not to turn in books until it is reopened; any late fees will be waived.

We’re incredibly disappointed that we will remain closed TOMORROW (1/9) due to our plumbing issues. We will re-open as soon as repairs can be made, so keep checking https://t.co/rayoFQUlaW and our social media for updates. Thanks SO much for your patience & support. pic.twitter.com/GZex0E0kfu

PS: It would be a HUGE help if everyone held on to their materials until after we re-open so as not to overwhelm our book drops. Any fines accrued during this emergency closing will be waived after we’re open again. Thanks! https://t.co/vs9WwgCldc

Update 2:45 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 7: Schlow Library will remain closed on Monday, January 8.

Original story: Schlow Library downtown will be closed Sunday, January 6 due to plumbing and temperature issues and will remain closed until the plumbing in the building is operational. These issues originally forced the library to close Saturday afternoon around 1 p.m.

The library asks patrons who currently have materials checked out to hold onto them until the library reopens rather than filling up book returns during the closure. Any fines for overdue books will be waived.

We’re SO sorry, but due to plumbing problems, @schlowlibrary is closed until further notice. Check our website or back here for updates. Thank you for all your RTs to help us get the word out. pic.twitter.com/gtDxhds6l8

The library’s website is, of course, still available for requesting and renewing materials and checking out eBooks.

For updates on when the library will reopen, visit the Schlow Library website or follow along on Facebook or Twitter. We’ll also update this post with more information as it becomes available.
