UPDATE: Expanded Security Monitor Hours

UPDATE! The new hours will start Monday November 27 not the 13th as stated in the original post below.

Starting Monday November 13, the hours security monitors will be on duty in Mondale Hall will be as follows:

Monday through Thursday: 7 pm to 1 am
Friday: 5 pm to 1 am
Saturday and Sunday: 8 am to Midnight

They will be located in the law school foyer, just outside the glass library doors, yet within eyesight of both the library and law school entrances.

As we get busy with final papers, projects and exams, it's easy to foget to take common security precautions around the library. Don't take safety and security for granted. Stay alert and aware. Here are some tips for staying safe:

Don't leave your valuables unattended. It takes very little time for a theft to occur.

Study near a group of people or in a highly visible area, expecially after library hours.

Report incidents or suspicious behavior to the security monitor or reference librarian on duty, or call Campus Police at 4-COPS.

When outside at night, walk with others in well-lit areas or call 4-WALK for a safe, escorted trip.

Report a potential safety issue as soon as possible. This means that if you notice a light out or fixture broken, report it so it can get fixed.

If you have any questions about safety, security or library facilities, please contact Paula Seeger at 612-625-1547 or seege030@umn.edu at your convenience.
