It’s that time of year again. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the Twin Cities’ many colleges are strangely quiet. 

With fewer students on campus, the libraries downshift for the summer months as well. One way you may feel this change is when you request a book from another CLIC library.  The courier that shuttles library material will only be making one stop at each library per weekday (larger libraries have two during the school year), which slows things down a bit. 

If you request a book from another CLIC library, expect an additional workday for it to arrive at your library of choice.
