March can be heartbreaking.
When you’re in post-secondary school, March is a long month. You’re too old for March Break, jacket-less weather is just out of reach, Daylight savings steals an hour of your life, every last assignment is due, and final exams are just around the corner. And this March, there are no stat holidays (at least not in Ontario), so you won’t have a happy excuse to spend time with friends and family. Think about it too much and March is downright heartbreaking. Just look at the photo of what happened to the LRC’s heart model on Monday.
There are, however, many good things about March.
So I hope you enjoy March as much as any other month. Soon enough exams will be over and it’ll be a glorious summer.
The Michener Learning Resource Centre (LRC, Library) will be closed
Friday, February 24th. Regular hours resume Saturday, February 25th.

One month down. Many more tests and assignments left to go. On the bright side, there’s a public holiday and a little break from classes this month.
Family Day is Feb 20. The LRC will be closed for the long weekend, February 18-20. Reading Week is Feb 20-24. From Feb 21-24 the LRC will open 8am-6pm.
If you borrow books from the LRC, don’t forget to renew them. Regular loan periods apply during Reading Week.
It’s January. It’s 2012. It’s really winter now. It’s a little sad that the holidays are over but as snow blankets the town we get another fresh start this school year. Some fresh and new items in the LRC are listed below.
Our catalogue, Polaris, was upgraded from version 3 to 4. Polaris is where you go to search the availability of books in the LRC and renew books you’ve checked out. Users familiar with Polaris might notice that keyword searching is easier now that autocomplete is available and you now have a few options when sorting through your reading history.
From the moment you step off the elevator, you’re bound to notice the new carpet. Red carpet no longer floods the second floor but there’s still some around if you’re a fan.
Outside the LRC is a table of old textbooks, novels, and magazines we’re giving away. Take a look and you might find something right for you.
We’re now on Winter Semester Hours. Monday-Thursday 8am-9pm, Friday 8am-7pm, Saturday/Sunday 12-5pm. We’re closed long weekends and hours will be reduced during Reading Week, but we’re open every day for the rest of January.
The final exams of the semester will come to an end at 5pm today. Then there’s the marking, waiting for marks, flights to catch, presents to wrap, and some sleep to fit in before the end of the year. Whatever you’re up to, enjoy your break! We’ll see you bright and early on Monday, January 2, 2012 – the Learning Resource Centre will open at 8am.
| Dec 16 Fri | 7:30am—6pm |
| Dec 17-18 Sat & Sun | Closed |
| Dec 19 Mon | 8am—5pm |
| Dec 20 Tues | 8am—12pm |
| Dec 21-Jan 1 | Closed |
We’ve extended LRC and A&P hours as we move into the final days of class. Hours were determined by classes, exams, and past usage, so they are a little nonsensical at first glance. Check them twice before planning your day around them.
