Later this semester you will see construction on the second floor of Mullen Library as we convert office space into the Juvenile Literature Reading Room. The juvenile literature collection serves the School of Library & Information Science, which has a school library media program, and the Department of Education, which offers degrees in early childhood, elementary and secondary education.

The new reading room will include:

• a new small group study room,
• an office for our Reference Librarian for Library & Information Science,
• a small lounge seating area, and, of course
• our juvenile literature collection.

We are working with the Facilities Planning and Construction office to ensure the most disruptive work—cutting a new entrance through 18 inches of concrete—is done during Spring Break. We will post more information on how this work will affect existing study spaces as soon as we have it.
