As you may have noticed over the summer Jack Tarver Library acquired new printers. As you may have also noticed they are not quite up to the speed and efficiency that we're all used too. Tarver Library has been working hard to attempt to resolve this issue and get the printers up to par. As such, on Thursday August 30, TSS will be installing new printers in the Tarver Library. We will have printing service during this time so please bear with us during this time and you can find assistance at either the Reference or Circulation desk.
