What does "circ desk only" mean on the library hours?
- “circ desk only” is posted on those days during Intersession (the days between semesters) when the library is staffed but is closed to all students except for the following service:
- Students who need to return borrowed items (books, calculators, laptops, etc.) or who need to clear fines from their account, may stop by the circulation desk from 9 am – 5 pm.
- There are no other in-person services available to students in the library on these days (printing, use of study rooms, checking out items, etc.)
- Baruch faculty may enter the library during these days to borrow materials and use other services.
