The folklore reading room (Hagerty 455A) is now open during specific hours for the autumn semester. These are the standard open hours through the end of the semester: 
Mondays: 9 am – 5 pm
Tuesdays: 9:30 am – 5 pm
Wednesdays: 9 am – 5 pm
Thursdays: 10 am– 5 pm
Fridays: 9 am – 5 pm

If someone is not at the front desk in Hagerty 455 during those times and the reading room is closed, visitors should look in the back for Nick Spitulski (room 454) or Cody Childs (452) since they both have access to the room. If you want to be 100% sure that someone will be present to let you in, call ahead at (614)292-4191 or schedule an appointment by sending an email.
