Security Certificate Updates

**Update**

The security certificate has been updated and you should no longer experience this issue.  Please let us know if you experience any further trouble.  Thanks!


 

We are having an issue with the security certificate for consuls.org.  Therefore many people will be directed to a site that says it is an unsafe or an unverified site.  Please click through and allow the exception in this case.  We hope to have this fixed soon!

For a list of what these look like and for how to proceed when you receive one of these messages, please see:

Book Sale Shelves

The book sale shelves on the 2nd floor of the Burritt Library have turned into “Free to Good Home” shelves.  After May 29, 2015; any remaining items will be recycled or discarded.  We are currently using Better World Books to sell and recycle any donations not added to the library collections thus eliminating the need for maintaining the Book Sale Shelves.

More information about our Gift Policy is available on the library website.

A special thank you to all those individuals that have purchased items from our Book Sale Shelves in the past!  We appreciate your support!
