- The library now has two card readers and print stations and you can send your print job to either one, eliminating the wait. One is located across from the Reference Desk and the other is right around the corner in the room that says Copier. That room also has the card dispenser and a dollar bill purchases a card with $0.60 already on it. The card is yours to keep and value can be added to it on the same machine.

- The library now has two large screen display monitors for working on your presentations. These rooms are located in the basement and must be reserved at the Circulation Desk. Bring your laptop and check-out a cable at Reserve.
