Baylor Libraries Weather Winter Storms, Provide Safe Haven for Students

Due to the efforts of a group of dedicated students, staff, and faculty, Moody and Jones Libraries and Starbucks remained open while the university transitioned to remote instruction and telework. Reports indicate that more than 250 students each day braved the icy conditions and came to Moody Library to find warmth, fresh coffee, and spaces for individual or group study.

While some Library services were not available due to staffing, the following people kept the doors open so that students (and others) would find a warm respite in the midst of the cold.
