January and February may be the coldest time of year in Texas, but after the brief Texas spring in March and April we tumble right into summer. With last year’s summer having a recorded 47 days of 100-degree weather, the library has pre-emptively taken measures to beat the heat and all fans in the group study rooms have extension cords and are ready for use!
Library Reference Department Workshops - Instructions will be held in Room 203
