Mills & Thode Libraries fall hours and new masks-on study spaces
Mills Memorial Library and H.G. Thode Library of Science and Engineering are open for the fall term, with several important updates to note.
Masking will continue to be strongly encouraged, but not required, inside campus buildings like libraries.
New this fall is dedicated masks-on study spaces in Mills and Thode libraries to accommodate students who prefer to wear their masks indoors. These areas will feature extra masks, wipes, and a limited number of public computers.
This fall also marks the return of both food and beverages being allowed in Mills and Thode libraries. The Reactor Café in Thode library will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Vending machines in library spaces are now functional and restocked.
Innis Library, McMaster’s business library, remains closed during the construction of its new home in the McLean Centre for Collaborative Discovery. Business resources and assistance can be found on the library’s website and at Mills library.
