Library Updates

Here is a quick reminder that when the College and Law School are closed because of weather and road conditions, the Boley Law Library is likewise closed. This is the case even during those times when the school is closed but the Registrar’s office is providing final exams.

Also, be sure to check our Holiday and Winter Break schedule for abbreviated hours and closures.

Have a safe holiday break and a happy New Year.

The Boley Law Library will be closed for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 19, as will Lewis & Clark College, Law School and Graduate School.

We will reopen for business and learning on Tuesday at our regularly scheduled time.

Not sure what to do without your local law library? Nothing wrong with volunteering at one of these Day of Service events (If that link expires, go direct to USA Service).

And on Tuesday, January 20 Lewis & Clark is presenting the “We Are on the Move” Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Celebration.

Yes, exam season will come to an end. And though school will be out the Law Library will be open during much of the holiday and winter break – but with abbreviated hours and some closures.

Check out our Holiday and Winter Break Hours (Dec. 20 – Jan. 11) before making the trek to Boley’s front door. Public and Patent & Trademark Library hours resume January 12.

Here’s wishing you a great break and a happy New Year, from all of us at the Boley Law Library!

In the event of delayed opening, the College as appropriate will announce “opening delayed until 9:30 a.m.” or “morning classes canceled until 11:30 a.m.” or “evening classes will be held/canceled beginning at 5 p.m.” Regularly scheduled classes that begin at or after these times will meet.
