Summer 2023 Library Services
While library staff and services will be available, floors 1-3 of McKillop Library will be CLOSED for the summer during construction on the first floor. Construction is scheduled to begin on May 15 and is expected to last through the end of August. While the top three floors of the building will be closed to all patrons, staff will be on-site and working remotely to provide library services to the Salve Community.
Garden Level Services such as Mail Services, the Technology Services Center, Design Services, and the Copy Center are expected to remain accessible via the Lawrence Avenue entrance through the summer with potential short term closures (always available by phone and email) due to construction on the first floor.
