Happy HolidaysUNB Libraries’ staff wish you the very best of luck on your exams.

Just a reminder that computers and quiet study space are in high demand in all our libraries at the moment.  We ask that you please respect everyone’s academic needs.

If you are looking for quiet spot at the Harriet Irving Library, keep in mind that the Milham Room (Room 100) and the study carrels on the 4th floor are the quietest areas and most conducive to study.  Also, Room 310 is now open as a comfortable new study area.

Need assistance finding a quiet space?  Check with the research desks in any of our libraries.

Good luck everyone and best wishes for the holiday season.
