Coming Soon: Study Rooms at the Library of Michigan!
The Library of Michigan is in the process of adding 2 new study rooms to the Law Library on the 3rd floor. Law Library staff have completed a major collection shift and that has provided enough space for these new study rooms. Several tasks still need to be completed before they will be open for public use (e.g., replace carpet, electrical work), but we wanted to give a preview of this soon to be available resource at our facility!
