When a suburban mother got a red-light ticket in her mailbox last fall, she knew that the citation had to be a mistake, and with the help of NBC 5 Responds, she was able to contest it, and to win.
The citation that arrived in Sherri Eggett’s mailbox in the fall of 2020 just had to be a mistake, she says. The date of the violation at a red light on South Archer Avenue was dated in Sept. 2020, when she was 36 weeks pregnant and at home in Naperville, on full lockdown.
Lauinger Library opened for the spring semester with newly extended hours on Jan. 23, with new policies and programs to safely increase student access to online and in-person resources. Despite attempts by the library to serve more of the Georgetown community in-person, a spike in COVID-19 cases is limiting off-campus student and employee access to the building.
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, access to the library is currently limited to undergraduate students living on campus, graduate students who’ve been approved to live on campus, and approved faculty and staff. To enter the library, students must have a green GU360 badge and have already made a reservation online. Digital files and contactless pick-up services are allowing the library to support students without access to campus buildings.
