Group Study Rooms Have Markers!

You no longer have to check out a pack of dry erase markers! Each study room with a dry erase board should now have markers available for you to use. If the markers are missing or are dried out, just ask about getting more at a one of our service desks. Please erase the board when you are done and leave the markers behind so that they are available for the next group. Thank you!
