Coworking Space Closed During Library Renovation |
|
Due to construction in adjacent staff areas, the coworking space at the Nichols Library is closed temporarily. If you are in the library and looking for a place to work, staff can direct you to the appropriate area of the building for your needs and preferred noise level. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to see all of our coworkers back in the space when the construction is completed in mid-June. |
