The Marion Campus Library will be closed from <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">December 19th, 2015-January 3rd, 2016</span></em>. If you have materials that are due while the library is closed, you can renew them online at

hours of operation at other locations. If you are requesting materials and know that they will arrive while we are closed, you will need to select another pick-up location within University Libraries. If requesting through OhioLINK, you can use the Pick-Up
Anywhere option to select another OhioLINK library site to pick up materials (but make sure the location you select will also be open; many libraries are closing for part or all of the holiday).
