The Undergraduate Library's doors will be closing forever on May 13, 2022, just as finals wrap up for the spring semester. With a farewell on the horizon, many students aren't ready to say goodbye.

Since the University announced its plan for the library renovation project in spring 2021, the closure of the Undergraduate Library has faced great criticism and disapproval from students. While the library was initially planned to close in January 2022, this has recently been delayed to the end of the semester as architectural plans and town hall meetings are being held regarding the project.

The Undergraduate Library is a piece of living history. Classes upon classes of students have called the UGL home, and studied, learned, and succeeded with the help of the space. It doesn't seem right to remove a space that lives in the hearts of students past and present. What would it really take to overturn such a seemingly drastic decision?
