This summer, O’Leary Library is undergoing a major transition to better serve our community. By the start of the Fall 2025 semester, all library operations and services will be consolidated to the third and fourth floors of the building. River Hawk Scholars Academy, among other departments, will be relocated to other floors in O’Leary. The Writing Center and Tutoring will be joining the Centers for Learning on the first floor.
