The Special Collections & Rare Books Department has discontinued weekend hours, Saturdays 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, for the present time due to staff shortages and the lack of patron demand. Any librarian or staff member contacted by a potential patron should let them know that all Rare Books and Special Collections are available M-F 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Microfilm collections and microfilm readers/printers/scanners are available anytime that Ellis Library is open.
