The first floor reference area at Zimmerman Library will reopen on Tuesday, Jan. 16. There will be a celebration ceremony and reception at 10 a.m. The reference area in the east wing of the library is directly above the fire that occurred last April in the basement.
The books and materials on the first floor suffered soot and smoke damage during the fire and were sent out of state for cleaning. The books have now been returned and are ready for use.
University Library administrators took advantage of the situation to completely rearrange the reference area, creating more spaces for students. As a result there are more computers for student use as well as more group study areas.
Students, staff and faculty are invited to view the revitalized reference area and celebrate the Zimmerman improvements.
