Due to Chaminade's classes being online until January 31, the library will have modified hours of operation at the beginning of the 2022 spring semester.
In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the library will be closed on Monday, January 17. It will re-open on Tuesday, January 18 at 8:15AM.
Beginning Monday, November 1, Study Rooms 3 & 4 may be utilized for individual use. Previously, all of the study rooms required at least two people and they were only for group use. This is a pilot program that will be carried out until the end of the semester and, upon review, may continue if it is deemed practical and effective. Groups will still be given preference, but if the rooms are not being used, individuals may use these designated rooms. These rooms are for a 3-hour loan period per day, on a first-come basis, and are not renewable.
In accordance with the University's policy regarding visitors to the CUH campus, non-CUH users of the Library will be required to present appropriate documentation and sign in at the Circulation Desk upon entering the Library (sign in only once per day).
