Don\u2019t worry \u2013 this is merely an effect of the cooled water outage this summer. Temperatures and humidity rose in the Library for several weeks in late July and August, so we moved all of our physical collections to Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. It was a big effort \u2013 one which continues with cleaning every single book, as well.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt will take us several months to ensure all the collections are in good shape, and as we do, we\u2019ll be able to move them back on the shelves where they belong. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 the majority our collections, more than 99.9 percent, are still available \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/galileo-gatech.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/search?vid=01GALI_GIT%3AGT\u0026amp;offset=0\u0026amp;search_scope=MyInstitution\u0026amp;lang=en\u0022\u003Eonline\u003C\/a\u003E and through delivery from our \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.library.gatech.edu\/lsc\u0022\u003ELibrary Service Center\u003C\/a\u003E, managed collaboratively with Emory University.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWHAT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEverything you love about the Library \u2013 our open spaces, our collaborative study rooms, our workshops and classes, our 24-hour help, our monthly events \u2013 is still happening.

You have a 10-minute window before the reservation is released and the room becomes available again.
