On Wednesday January 3 a new self-service photocopy room opened on the lower level of the Library, for use by NIH staff. To copy library materials, stop at the Library Information Desk on the first floor to borrow a copy card in exchange for your NIH ID. Photocopy room hours are the same as general Library hours: Monday - Thursday 7:45 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Friday 7:45 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., and Sunday 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Renovation of the NIH Library continues in January. While new shelving is installed on the lower level, Library staff will continue to retrieve books from the collection. We are doing our best to minimize any inconvenience this may cause.
