Monday's Hours

As most of you know, this Sunday is Remembrance Day.  Ceremonies will be held across the country to honour those who served Canada in wars or peacekeeping over the years.  And as you probably also know, because it is a mandatory holiday in Nova Scotia, the University will be closed and there will be no classes on Monday. 

But the Library will be open.  Our hours will be noon-11:00pm.  Something else you should know.

Doug Vaisey Retiring
