Watzek's annual Food for Fines Drive offers you a chance to help the hungry while you take care of those pesky overdue fines. From Monday, December 10th, to Tuesday, December 18th, you will earn $2 towards overdue charges for each approved food item you bring to the Watzek Library Circulation Desk. Preferred items include peanut butter, canned fruits & veggies, soups, stews, canned tuna or chicken, macaroni & cheese, and other boxed grains & pastas (no ramen). Pet food, expired, and perishable items, along with glass containers, will not be accepted. All items will be donated to the Oregon Food Bank.

Fall Reading Days and Finals bring extended hours to Watzek Library for your studying pleasure. We will be open 24 hours from Thursday, December 13th to Wednesday, December 19th at 6:00 pm. Watzek Library will have shortened hours over winter break and will be closed December 22nd-January 1st. See our detailed list of hours and closures.
