McHenry Library south-side access is now completely closed; access the library from the north-side entrance only

Beginning today, November 18th, south-side access to McHenry Library (the side where the drive-up book return was located) is completely closed. The gate on the one-lane road, between the library, the Music Center and Performing Arts complex, is closed. A sign at the Music Center re-directs vehicles to park in the Performing Arts lot, or in the Hahn lot. The south library foyer doors have signs (shown in the photo below) saying that it is a construction area with no exit.

Access to the library, from now on, is only from the north side (the side with access to Steinhart Way). To walk to the Performing Arts/Music Center area from the north-side entrance, walk on the driveway at the back of the Chancellor's Office, past the construction trailers, and follow the path up the hill through Baskin Arts to the Performing Arts area. Bicycles should follow Steinhart Way (the road where the shuttles drive) around Kerr Hall to the Performing Arts area to access the meadow bike path.
