At this time, 3rd floor restrooms on the “Student Union side” of the John C. Hitt Library are closed. We apologize for this inconvenience and for the noise. All other restrooms in the building remain open.
Work on the 4th floor restrooms has been completed and they are open.
Completed restrooms will have new fixtures, walls and floors, and will be more easily accessible to those with disabilities.
If you are disturbed by noise, please ask for earplugs at the Circulation Desk on the 2nd (main) floor.
Join us for a lunch break Open Heart Open Mic on Tuesday, February 7th from 12-1:30PM in John C. Hitt Library room 223. The UCF Libraries is partnering with the Women’s & Gender Studies Program to present an ongoing open mic event series.

The Citizen Curator Project of Central Florida invites Citizen Curators to create a series of exhibitions for display at the John C. Hitt Library, the UCF Art Gallery, and online focused on the theme “Eliminationism and Resistance.” A particularly potent example of eliminationism, defined as social policies that seek to censor, suppress, exile, or exterminate others, is the recent Pulse nightclub attack, whereas the Orlando United campaign may be viewed as an act of resistance and reconciliation.
We urge participants to experiment, not only with a range of perspectives on the theme and historical source material, but also with the idea of what an exhibit can be. Anyone with an interest in affecting social change through exhibitions can be a Citizen Curator. This includes, but is not limited to, students, artists, activists, educators, and members of the community. No previous experience with curating is required.
To apply, email a 250-word description of your project to citizencurator@ucf.edu by February 15, 2017. Please include the type of materials you will be using, the desired or proposed location of your exhibit (UCF Art Gallery, John C. Hitt Library, online, other galleries or venues of your choice), your vision (include a sketch or image if applicable), and how your project relates to the theme “Eliminationism and Resilience.” Individuals or small groups are welcome.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
For the month of January, the UCF Libraries Bookshelf is celebrating books which help you make and keep (and sometimes ignore) resolutions. These are our faculty and staff choices for starting the new year off in the best ways possible.
