24/7 Global Cooperative

Knowing that students sometimes may need help even after the library closes, the Library has invested in a Global Chat Cooperative. The cooperative is made up of libraries that pool their times in order to provide 24/7 coverage to students, faculty, and staff. For us at The Chicago School, it means that students can access assistance with basic help questions when the library is closed.
