Earlier today, UMBC Police received a report of a fire alarm in the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery. UMBC Police and the Baltimore County Fire Department responded immediately and determined that there was not a fire. Unfortunately, there was a significant plumbing issue that has resulted in a temporary closure of the building. The Admissions and Financial Aid offices remain open.  

The library will be closed tomorrow, February 1, 2022. The Retriever Learning Center will be open tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

We are working to reopen the building as quickly as possible. Please check the library website for updates on when the building will reopen.

We appreciate your patience as we respond to this incident.
