UNO Facilities Management & Planning has scheduled the water at the Criss Library building to be shut off some time today. The Library WILL remain open during this time.

Since there will be NO RUNNING WATER, the bathrooms will be taped off and unusable. Please use the restrooms at either Durham Science Center or Weber Fine Arts Building.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thanks for your help and flexibility in dealing with this minor inconvenience.

An exhibit of mosaics and scale models from animation, movies, video games, and other works of visual media, from the personal collection of Chris Knudtson, will be on display in the Criss Library Osborne Family Gallery from May 10 through June 21.

The Opening Reception will be held from 3-5 pm on Sunday, May 12.

All events are free and open to the public.
