M.P. Baker Library relocated
February 4, 2009
The expansion project is on going still. However, the Library has moved to the newly built area for the Phase I of the construction. Phase II is scheduled to be completed in Summer 2009. The main entrance is located on the east side of the campus–facing the Fine Arts Building. The offices and the collections were re-arranged. Current periodicals, microfilm and microfiche collection, bound periodicals, fiction, Audiobooks, VHS & DVD collections are located downstairs. There are 12 machines available at the open computer lab on the first floor. The non-fiction circulating books, reference collection, nursing & allied health sciences collection including journals are on the second floor. Across the floor alongside the tall book shelves on the second floor are magnificent glass windows lined with study tables accented with reading lamps. Access to the second floor is thru the elevator only. The reference desk is directly located across the floor coming out of the elevator. Librarians are available at the desk to provide assistance (face-to-face or virtual to all users) during library hours. Study rooms are available for walk-in users. Reservation for a scheduled use of a study room will be offered very soon. Materials can be checked out/in at the circulation desk on the first floor immediately across the main entrance door. Blow are before and after photos of the construction project.
