Card Access Starting at 9pm

Beginning March 16th a current Washington University identification card will be required of each person entering Olin Library or the adjoining Whispers Café after 9 p.m. This change makes Olin Library's card access schedule consistent with all other buildings on campus. According to Dean Baker, "We believe this change will enhance student safety without greatly restricting the larger community's access to Olin Library. Our students, faculty members, and staff already carry their University ID cards for many other functions. We hope having to present their cards at the Library after 9 p.m. will only be a minor inconvenience."
