Library Building Update

January 09, 2025 11:01 AM
Due to major construction, as of February 3, 2025, there will be some changes to how library patrons access the Joseph F. Smith Library and its services. Please refer to signage, library social media, the bulletin, and this page for regular updates.

We now have a temporary study room on the left side of the library. The study space is in Room JFS152 and is open for studying and collaboration! The restrooms located in front of the vending machine and near the Information Desk are now open for use—thank you for your patience!
