We're going to celebrate Birthday Wednesday on Wednesday, April 2nd. Since the next birthday Wednesday will be during finals week, we've decided to make this birthday Wednesday a celebration for all of us celebrating birthdays in April -- May -- June -- July -- August. 

April:  No staff birthdays

May: Kathryn, Kat, Vasudha

June: Caroline, Annalise, Bria

July: Joyce

August: Ilana, Gary 

Stop by the library on Wednesday in the morning for some donuts & later in the afternoon for some cookies. If you see anyone who has an upcoming birthday, be sure to wish them Happy Birthday for their special day.

Important: Library Sensory Experience Survey

 


From now until the end of the semester, we will be running a survey about sounds and smells inside the library. When people come to the desk and say they are here to do a survey, give them one of the business cards with a QR code and "Library Sensory Experience Survey" at the top. The cards are available next to the circulation computers. If they ask about the $25 compensation, tell them they will receive it via email in the next couple of weeks, after their survey responses are verified. If they have other questions, direct them to Gary: garave@iu.edu 

Thanks!

Spring Break Coming Soon - Important Information You Need to Know!

 

As the weather starts getting warmer, we start thinking about Spring Break. With Spring Break a couple weeks away, here’s some important you need to know about spring break & library operations. 

Business/SPEA Library Hours during Spring Break:

Friday March 14th                                             8:00am - 5:00pm
Saturday March 15th - Saturday March 22nd      Closed
Sunday March 23rd                                           5:00pm - Midnight

Regular library hours resume on Monday, March 24th

============================================

What does this mean for Business/SPEA Library employees?

Monday March 10 to Friday March 14:  The library is open regular hours. You are responsible for working your shifts or finding a sub. Posting sub notices as early as possible is always best. Anyone available to pick up extra shifts during that week, will be greatly appreciated.

Spring Break Week (March 15-22):  The library is CLOSED, so you are NOT required to work.

Sunday March 23rd:  
Library hours that day are 5:00pm to Midnight. If you work during that time, it would be great if you can make your shift. Otherwise, post a sub notice. If anyone would like to help Matt out that evening, so he’s not working alone, it would be greatly appreciated.

Starting Monday March 24:  We’re back to regular hours and business as usual.

For any questions, please see a supervisor.

Have a safe & fun break!!
