Happy January!

As a reminder, the Hirsh Health Sciences Library service desk has some updated hours coming up in the following weeks for the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. The library service desk will be open Monday, January 20th for the following hours:

12pm - 7pm

The building will be open for tap access from 6am - 11pm during this time, and any questions during closed hours may be directed to hhsl@tufts.edu, and we will get back to you when we return to the office. 

These hours are observed due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which was instituted as a federal holiday in 1983 to recognize the life of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. You can read more about the history of the holiday here, and read the full text of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech here.

Have a safe and restful day off!
