What shoud I do if one of the other library desks is not staffed?

If it is supposed to be staffed then have the patron check back in a few minutes. It could be possible that the staff at the desk are away helping someone at the moment. If they don't come back then give the patron the main number for the desk...

Learning Resource Center Hours

First, check their website for the hours HERE.

The general hours are from 1:00-10:00pm Sundays through Thursdays. They have a disclaimer on their website saying that they follow the UMass Academic Calendar for day changes and closings, and will obviously be closed if they library ever closes for any reason.

They have different hours during breaks and the summer, so if someone wants help send them to the 10th floor to speak with their receiptionist.

Where do people apply to be tutors? - Dan

The tutors work on the 10th Floor in the Learning Resource Center. They can either check up there to apply or there is also information and an application online at the LRC webpage. Check it out LRC.

Where is the location for getting help with English?

I checked the Learning Resource Center page and they do offer tutors for some English classes. But there is also the Writing Center in the Learning Commons where students can get help with their writing assignments. So I guess it depends on what kind of help with English that they need.
