As a result of the most recent guidance from the Governor and SUNY, we are taking additional steps to ensure employees are working remotely and to ensure reducing employee density by 75% where possible.

Therefore, effective 5 p.m. today, March 19, the Library will be closed until further notice.

Library staff will continue to provide service and support to our faculty and students under our system of remote teaching and learning for all classes. For help finding online resources visit E Resources for Online Learning. For all other remote services and support please access Ask A Librarian online or by calling (845) 257-3710.

Students who remain local or who remain in our residence halls will have alternative spaces available for studying. Computer labs on campus remain open for those who need to access internet connectivity or a computer or specialized software.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Mark Colvson, Dean of the Library
Barbara Lyman, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
