Welcome Class of 2024! And a Hearty Welcome to returning students and faculty. We missed you all! The safety and well-being of you, our students, faculty and colleagues, is our top priority. Our guiding principle is to support students and faculty while protecting the health of our community. We will continue to be flexible and in constant review of what is possible following guidance from the CDC, the State of Maine, and the University of Maine System.
Merrill Library will be open to UMM students, faculty and staff via swipe card access, and UMS students, faculty, and staff by request. The 24 Hour Room function has been temporarily suspended for the Fall 2020 semester. The space will be available for student use during regular Library Hours.
We have removed a number of seating to ensure that the proscribed physical distance between library patrons is maintained. We ask that the furniture remain in its current configuration. Face coverings described here are required as specified by UMS policy. Be sure to visit The University of Maine at Machias Return to Campus website for more information.
