CSU Libraries’ Provisional Spring Break Hours

After mid-terms, preparing for a week-long hiatus away from school work and studious time management is often the topmost priority for students awaiting spring break. March 23^rd to March 27^th is Columbus State University’s 2015 scheduled spring break.

Because many may not take a break from their studies, the CSU libraries will remain open for this one week with special hours. The Simon Schwob Memorial Library will close March 21^st and 22^nd and will re-open for the week of spring break with provisional hours.
