New Magazine Display on the 2nd Floor
In addition to the library 2nd floor being open 24 hours a day, we have added a magazine display rack. This new display is located near the end of the periodicals stacks. It holds the most recent issues of 20 popular periodical titles, among them: Rolling Stone, the Atlantic Monthly, the New Yorker, and Sports Illustrated. If you are looking for one of these magazines, look in the new display rack instead of the plastic periodical box.
Like all periodicals, these magazines are for library use only and cannot be checked out. Here is a listing of the twenty titles featured on the magazine display:
Atlantic Nation
America National Geographic
Bloomberg Businessweek New Yorker
Consumer Reports Popular Science
Discover Prevention
Ebony Psychology Today
Essence Rolling Stone
Fortune Science
Harper’s Sports Illustrated

Personal Property Lost and Found in the Library
As the new academic year begins, it’s time for a reminder about the Library’s policy on personal property. The University of Scranton assumes no responsibility or liability for personal property lost or stolen on The Weinberg Memorial Library premises. Library users and guests are urged not to leave personal property unattended in the Library.
Items found by Library staff or Library users should be turned in to Library Lost and Found at the Library’s Circulation Desk on the Library’s first floor. Library Circulation staff will make an effort to contact the owners of Royal Cards to return the cards. At the beginning of each weekday, Royal Cards not picked up and other found items are turned over to University Lost and Found in the Parking Pavilion. The Library will not mail lost items to owners. Personal property not recovered from the Library staff will be located at University Police, Lost and Found, located in the Parking Pavilion.
Library Hours Expanded
In response to student feedback the entire second floor of the library is now open 24/7, allowing for more access to carrels, computers, and space for quiet study. This is in addition to 24/7 access to the Reilly Learning Commons and the Pro Deo Room, both on the first floor. After hours, just swipe your Royal Card outside Reilly on the Commons side, or outside Pro Deo on the Monroe side to enter. Welcome new students, and welcome back to those returning!
New Books Shelves moved to the First Floor
The Library’s latest book acquisitions have been relocated from the second floor to shelves on the first floor of the Weinberg Memorial Library. The “New Books” can be found directly to the left of the circulation desk behind the Library Gate Attendant desk. If you are searching for a book in the catalog and you see “NEW BOOKS” in the record for the book, that book will be located on the New Book Shelves and not in the stacks on the 3rd, 4th or 5th floors. “NEW BOOKS” can also be used to search as a subject, which will locate all of the titles most recently added to our catalog. Please feel free to browse and borrow our recent additions, among them Is Pluto a Planet?
