Chronicling the story of how CCNY alumni such as Zero Mostel and Yip Harburg who worked in academia and entertainment were affected by blacklisting in the 1940s and 1950s, this exhibit in the Cohen Library atrium will be on view through the end of the year.

CUNY has raised the fines for overdue library materials and the new charges go into effect August 28. Fines for general circulation books rise from .10 cents to .25 cents a day. Late 2-hour reserve materials will now incur a $5.00 fine for each hour or part of an hour overdue. These changes give new meaning to the phrase, “it pays to be on time.” Remember that fines run continually, even when the library is closed.
