The IHS Library is Reopening!

The Interprofessional Health Sciences Library will reopen on Monday, August 24 at 6:30am, with modifications in place to conform with state guidance on reopening libraries.

Seating in the library has been significantly reduced to ensure physical distancing, and many of the desktop computers have been removed. Study rooms can only have one occupant at a time.

We want our library users to be aware of how we need your help to remain open and not be a source of new infections. Please see our New IHS Library Rules below.

Operating hours for the IHS Library will be limited and subject to change. Our hours will be: 

Monday – Friday, 6:30 am – 9pm
CLOSED on Saturdays and Sundays

Even though our library will look and feel a bit different, we are so excited to reopen and get to see you all soon!

New Artwork Unveiled at the IHS Library

Neuron art print
“Neuron” by Andrea P. Tóth.

Earlier this month, twelve colorful anatomy prints were permanently installed in various locations throughout the library. The mixed-media watercolor and ink designs are by Prague artist and medical doctor, Andrea P. Tóth, owner of the small-business MedPapers.

When the IHS Library opened in July 2018, the space was beautiful- but the white walls were noticeably in need of artwork. Looking for help on this huge project, the IHS Library consulted with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine’s Art and Medicine student group for design inspiration. Toth’s prints were ultimately selected for the library for their color, creative interpretation of the human body, and tone of calmness.

So far, the prints have been a huge hit with everyone, especially IHS Library Director, Chris Duffy. “We couldn’t be happier with how these beautiful prints look in our library,” he says. “I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!”
