Park anywhere in “North Parking Lot C” (very few classes on Fridays so there should be plenty of parking close by). No permit needed. Enter the building, then look for signs I’ll post pointing towards the library. We’ll be in the Library Instruction and Research Lab, Room 071 on the lower level of the library. If people are lost en route, call 978-630-9338.
