On Monday, January 17, the University Libraries will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr Day.

See Hours & Information on the library web site.

Beginning this week, Perry Library will be moving all books with call numbers starting with L from the west side of the third floor to the east side of the fourth floor.

The L call number covers books related to education as well as ODU's theses and dissertations from all subjects (LD4331).

The shifting process is expected to take approximately three weeks. If you have trouble locating a book, ask for help at the circulation desk, located at the front of the second floor.

Thanks for your patience!
