Pacific Island Collection Relocated

April 28, 2025 11:11 AM
The library administration has elected to move the Pacific Island Collection to the old Media Services area on a temporary basis in order to keep the library refurbishing project on target and to also diminish disruption of the use of the collection during spring 2025.

The Pacific Island Research room will be operating as a closed stack collection. This means that library users will need to look up materials using our library search feature found on the library's web page.
