Please Pardon Our Dust!

During the months of April and May Mercer Library staff, along with the Prince William Campus Administration will prepare for a retrofit in the library.  Upon completion, Mercer will be able to offer additional shelving units to accommodate the growing collections.  Construction may be noisy at times, however staff are happy to accommodate patrons as needed.  We look forward to serving you throughout the process!
