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. 

Where Can You Find Offices and Services? 

First floor: 

  • The River Hawk Scholars Academy (RHSA) has moved to the first floor. 

  • Some public computers are available. 

  • CLASS has condensed some of its services to the first floor. You can find the Writing Center alongside their tutoring services. 

  • A few study rooms remain available on the first floor. 

  • Library services have moved up to the fourth floor. 

  • Starbucks will re-open in the fall! 

Third Floor: 

  • The library staff offices are on the third floor. We have plenty of open study rooms, the free bookshelf, a new puzzle spot, lots of comfortable furniture, and more. 

  • Public computers and B&W printers are here for you to use.  

  • You can find the books from the Wunsch collection. Please make sure to take those up to the fourth floor to check out. 

Fourth Floor: 

  • Library services have moved to the fourth floor. You can pick up and return Interlibrary Loan items. This is where you can check out and return your books and other items. If you don’t want to come up to the fourth floor to return books, consider using our new book drop outside of O’Leary Library. 

  • Music and Art books remain on the fourth floor. The music scores are now part of our circulating collection so you can check those out. Foreign language books have been relocated to O’Leary Library as well.  

  • The Book Love collection moved up to the fourth floor and we’ve set up a Book Nook so you can sit and read when you need a break. 

  • The English Department remains in its office space. 

How Will This Affect You? 

  • O’Leary library is open. Library services and support can be found on the fourth floor.

  • Directional signage, updated maps, and staff assistance will help you navigate the changes this fall. 

  • If you visit the first floor in the future, please note that it may no longer provide library support.
