JABSOM Library: Library Updates

Our Library Stacks Are Open Again!

Did You Know? Our Library Stacks Are Open Again!

We’re excited to share some good news—our Library Stacks are now fully open to students again! After months of closure due to construction in one section of the library, the entire space is once more available for browsing, studying, and exploring.

This means you now have access to the full physical book and journal collection—perfect for research projects, class assignments, or simply finding something new to read. In addition, the reopening means more quiet study areas, offering more peaceful spots to read, write, or focus without distractions. You can find the bone boxes and puzzles in there too!

As part of the renovation, we also updated the general library area with new carpet and created a brand-new meeting space: MEB 102. To help preserve the space and keep our library clean, we’re implementing some updated food and drink guidelines:

• Only dry snacks and beverages in closed containers are allowed in the open library area and computer lab.
• No eating or drinking is allowed in the stacks.
• You can still enjoy full meals (like bentos or plate lunches) in the fishbowl, but all food and containers must be discarded in outside trash bins.

Whether you’re deep into exam prep, working on a paper, or just need a break from the hustle and bustle of campus life, your library is here for you. Come by, explore the stacks, and make the most of the newly accessible space—we’ve missed having you there!
