Check out the Spartans of UD about our own Molly Zogas!!

“My advice as you approach finals week would be to hang in there and take your breaks. Oftentimes we forget about taking care of ourselves when we are in ‘crunch time.’ But self-care is so important. You can't run on maximum forever. Put in the work, but don't forget to prioritize yourself. Schedule breaks if you need to, but make sure you think about yourself as well.”

Molly Zogas (C’17) is the library office manager at the Charles C. Myers Library.

Are you a new grad student working hard to make the most out of your first semester? Here are some helpful tips from our grad student Chad Gunnelson that will help you succeed.

We've invited some old friends to help remind the UD Community not to walk behind the Reference Desk. You'll see our robot friends as well as a few new safety and service features when you come visit us this semester.

On Monday, June 22, 2020, the Charles C. Myers Library will reopen with for the summer. Until further notice, the library will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. UD students, faculty, and staff will be asked to scan their UD ID outside the exterior door before entering the library. If your UD ID is over 10 years old, please contact the Office of Safety and Security at 563.589.3333 to verify whether you need your card replaced. Community members will be asked to call the library at 563.589.3100 to be allowed into the building.

And, of course, safety protocols must be observed by all users. What are those protocols? UD’s mantra to help mitigate the spread of the virus is: Practice common sense — good hygiene, social distancing, and wear a face covering for yourself and for others.

Thanks for your patience as we figured out options for you to return books and materials to the library. We recognize that most of you aren't still on campus. You have a few different options including multiple locations in Iowa to return items thanks to our friends at more than 35 Iowa college libraries across the state.

1. If you'll be back on campus in the fall, you can return your books then. Email us at [email protected] and tell us you plan to return items in the fall so we can extend the due date on your items so you don't get so many over due notices.

2. If you're in or near Dubuque, you can drop off the books in the book drop in the lobby of the library.

3. If you're in Iowa, or nearby, check out this map of 35 Iowa college libraries participating in this book return program. Drop your UD library book at any of these 35 libraries and it will get back to us. https://ui-libraries.github.io/Library_Dropoffs/notui_index.html

4. Or you can mail books back to us. When you take them to the post office, ask for the media mail or book rate. It should be cheaper. Our address is:

Charles C. Myers Library
2000 University Ave.
Dubuque, IA 52001

If none of these work for you, please email us at [email protected] and let us know you're having trouble getting your items back to us, and we'll try and work with you to figure out a way.
