In the summer time, when the weather is fine, AMES Library is open (almost) all of the time! OK, we may not be the best at rhyming, but we're here for all your summer research needs. We'll be open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm, with an hour closure for lunch at 1:00 pm.
It's oh so quiet... but not for long! A huge congratulations to our students on finishing their exams. We hope you have some marvellous summer adventures and look forward to seeing you back in October (or in a year's time if you're off on your year abroad!)
