Library News

Please join us in welcoming Claire Drown, our new Student Success Librarian! 

Here is a quick introduction from Claire: 

“Hi, I'm Claire (she/her)! I have worked as an academic librarian for the past two years, and I love working with students to help them succeed in their college careers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, and exploring the outdoors. I'm very excited to join Menlo as the newest librarian, and start to get to know the community.”

Stop by at Bowman this week to meet Claire and stay for the extended study hours and de-stress activities available for finals!

Bowman Library will have special hours due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and finals.

Up first is the adjusted schedule for Thanksgiving Week, November 24th (Sunday) - December 1st (Sunday).

The library will be open from 1pm-10pm as usual on Sunday, November 24th and open with limited hours on Monday and Tuesday, November 25th-26th from 10am-2pm. 

The library will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday from Wednesday-Sunday, November 27th- December 1st.

Then we're back with extended hours for finals (including Saturday!) from December 2nd (Monday) - December 13th (Friday).

We'll be open Monday-Wednesday 9am-1am, Thursday 9am-9pm, Friday 9am - 5pm, Saturday 12pm- 5pm, and Sunday 1pm-1am. 

In addition to extended hours during finals, Bowman Library will also be hosting activities to help with de-stressing during this busy time.  We'll be posting a finalized schedule for finals week activities soon, so please keep an eye out. We hope to see you in the library!
