Due to the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year holidays, several libraries have reduced staff and operating hours. This may result in a longer than usual wait for routine interlibrary loan requests. Book requests may also take longer due to delays with shipping.
The TTUHSC El Paso Libraries of the Health Science will be closed the following days:
November 24 - 27
December 23 - 26
December 31 - January 2
