MACBETH.

If you are coming to the library during class, please ask your classroom teacher for a note with your name, time, date and purpose of your visit since our lab/computer space is limited this time of year.  There is no guarantee that we can accommodate you since we may be at capacity especially during lunch periods 2 & 3.
