The new procedure for obtaining a Library Card will go into effect as of July 6th, please make sure that you have a valid LIR Membership card prior to going to the Library to expedite your visit or call the Office Manager in advance and they can make sure that a new Membership card can be issued in your name if you are paid up to date in your Dues.

Programming will move to online and In-Person with the Fall 2022 Seminars!

The Fall 2022 Seminars are going to be a combination of In-Person Seminars and Zoom Sessions that will continue to be offered online. This will completely depend on the Moderators preference, but there should be enough options to cover everyone’s preference.

The Catalog is available, please note that locations are subject to change due to changing COVID conditions but we will do our best to ensure that locations stay in the general vicinity of the original location.

The LIR office is now re-opened on the Smith Campus with normal Business Hours: Monday – Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm.

Thank you!
