Time to celebrate!
Over the decades, Hatch Library has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of its patrons. On April 26th, Hatch celebrated with a ribbon cutting for yet another transformation—this time the library is now in the high tech and high touch era. In the main area, book shelves have been replaced with study tables equipped with outlets for electronic devices, group meeting areas, and quiet study spaces. Although the feel is definitely 21st century, Hatch is still the warm and inviting place it always has been. And you can still check out a book!
