In preparation for Hurricane Irene, all of the MIT Libraries will be closed on Sunday, August 28 due to the State of Emergency declared by Governor Patrick.

At a press conference earlier today, the Governor and officials urged residents to “stay off the roads from Saturday evening through the end of the storm,” among other precautions.

We are planning to maintain regular hours on Saturday, with Hayden Library open from 1pm-6pm, but will monitor the situation if conditions change.
