Spring/Summer North Campus Library Hours
As we transition into the Spring/Summer term, we are adjusting our service hours across all library locations. These changes allow us to align our resources with peak usage times, ensuring we can maintain high-quality, consistent support during the busiest parts of the week while maintaining 24/7 access to study space in Cameron.
Key Updates for North Campus library locations effective Sunday, April 26:
- Weekday Access: Rutherford Library North will serve as our primary hub, open 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Mon-Fri). Rutherford South is accessible by ONEcard as well from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Mon-Fri)
Cameron and Sperber locations will be open 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (Mon-Fri) with ONEcard access as of 8:00 AM. - Weekends: We will offer Saturday service during spring term and July during summer term exclusively at Rutherford North from 10: 00 AM - 5:00 PM. All locations will be closed on Sundays and Statutory Holidays.
- 24/7 Study Option: For those requiring late-night or Sunday study space, the Cameron Library Basement (Knowledge Common and Study Hall) remains available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via ONEcard access.
