Happy October Twelfth!
We here at the Sue Shaffer Learning Commons & Library have so many things to be happy about, the most important being our library building is REOPENING!
New Hours
Beginning on Monday, October 16th, 2023, our library will be open with the following hours*:
Monday: 7:45 am – 6:00 pm
Tuesday: 7:45 am – 6:00 pm
Wednesday: 7:45 am – 6:00 pm
Thursday: 7:45 am – 6:00 pm
Friday: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
*We are closed on weekends, all major holidays, and whenever campus itself is closed.
Remodel Updates
Our remodel is not quite complete, but while we await a few key pieces, come on in and enjoy the changes we have in store for you!
I don’t want to give away all the surprises, but a few key things to look for are:
-
An upgraded lobby with comfy chairs, plenty of power outlets, and re-stocked vending machines
-
A brand-new circulation desk, with an all-new library staff
-
A more robust Tutoring Center with an all-new Tutoring Coordinator
-
Three 4-person ADA-compliant study pods (complete with their own booking system, sound-dampening technology, and interior light controls)
As always, you can also reach us through our chat (https://chat.library.umpqua.edu/), and via text at (541) 835-8146 during our regular business hours.
See you on Monday!

P.s. Below is a photo that I took of something else that I'm happy about this October 12th, I stayed late after teaching a class about databases to catch up with a student who made me smile, and it kept me back just long enough that when I walked up to the fountain on my way back to the library I caught this perfect moment. The fountain at full height, with the beautiful green of the tree perfectly outlining it and a rainbow at the base...we truly are on the most beautiful campus in Oregon. 💕💕💕💕
Have you been wondering where to return your books? Wonder no more, for the library's new book drop has just arrived! You can return all library materials either at our new drop located in the parking lot behind the Sue Shaffer Learning Commons and Library building, or return them to a staff member at the circulation desk inside.
