Last October, the Library Genie visited for a second time. He asked for your 3 library wishes, and you responded. A year later, we can happily say that 3 of your library wishes have been granted (with more to come):

1. You asked for a charging station for your electronic devices. HS/HSL now has a charging station with 8 lockers to securely charge your phone or tablet.
2. You asked for an off-campus log-in button. There is now a big blue log-in button on the HS/HSL’s homepage so that you can authenticate before starting your work.
3. You asked for more comfy chairs and rolling white boards. More rolling white boards have been placed on each floor, and soon to arrive are 20 high-back comfort armchairs that can be wheeled around the 1st and 2nd floors for you to relax in.

The Library Genie will be accepting wishes from October 1 to 31. Look for our online form October 1.

• What could the Library offer on the 1st floor that would enhance your learning experience?
• Are there any new technologies you would like to see the Library offer?
• What about other resources and services the Library could provide?

As the fall semester begins, the HS/HSL has some tips to help you out!

• Want a quiet place to study? You can reserve select study rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Don’t worry if you forget to make a reservation: there are plenty of other study rooms and quiet spaces to study throughout the library.
• Need help with a class assignment or research? Consider requesting a consultation with your school librarian.
• Forgot your charger at home? Come use the charging station on the Library’s 1st floor. It includes chargers for multiple devices.
• Need help while you’re at the Library? Come to the Information Services Desk on the 1st floor. Our staff can help you locate items, scan documents, search databases, and more! Or visit our Ask Us! page, where you can search a knowledge base of answers or chat with a staff member.
• Love to study early in the morning or late at night? The HS/HSL is open from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., Monday through Friday for early study hours. You must enter the Library via the SMC Campus Center and show your UMB One Card. We also stay open until 1 a.m., Monday through Thursday. Click here for full library hours.
