* Lodging** We have blocked off 30 rooms for 7/23 & 7/24 at the East Lansing Marriott as the official hotel. These rooms are at a discounted rate, and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by June 23rd or the rooms will be released back to the public. *** Use the [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lanea-east-lansing-marriott-at-university-place/?toDate=&groupCode=LIBLIBA&fromDate=&app=resvlink this link] to book your stay, or call and mention the event code "LIBLIBA"*** '''NOTE:''' if you use the link, make sure to uncheck "My Dates Are Flexible"** Here is a list of alternative hotels, with notes on distance and transportation to MSU: http://www.ctlr.msu.edu/cotravel/hotels_msulocal.aspx** '''Walking Directions (from Hotel to Library):''' [https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=marriott+east+lansing&daddr=42.7349335,-84.483926+to:msu+library&hl=en&sll=42.733798,-84.481827&sspn=0.005351,0.01134&geocode=FbsYjAIdw-32-iG5n5yCKrlTrCkNdkiq1OkiiDG5n5yCKrlTrA%3BFVUVjAIdquD2-ik56sBp1OkiiDH2_q_NmwVa4w%3BFawGjAId0-L2-iESN_F5SyA35Sl35MJMzOkiiDESN_F5SyA35Q&dirflg=w&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=17&via=1&t=m&z=17 | .5 Miles, approx 10 minutes.] Head South on M.A.C Avenue and cross East Grand River at an intersection or crosswalk--this is a busy street. You are now on campus! Just ahead and to your right is the MSU Union. Follow the sidewalk along Grand River keeping MSU Union on your left until you come to Abbot Rd. Cross Abbot Rd. and take a left to follow the sidewalk along Abbot. To your right is Campbell Hall and to your left is, yes, MSU Union. Ahead you will see much confusion. West Circle Drive, the major circuit in this section of campus, is under heavy construction. You're goal here is to cross West Circle Drive, no easy task. If you have followed Abbot Rd. then you should see a detour sign directly across West Circle that heads into the campus mall. Unfortunately for you the campus mall is a maze of sidewalks and enormous trees. Head south towards the Music Building. If you keep the Music Building on your right and Beaumont Tower on your left then you are heading south. To add to the confusion, you are in the middle of a circle drive--so you're going to be looking again for West Circle Drive. MSU Library is a huge brick building with green windows and two fountains out front.  * Transportation** '''Train:''' East Lansing Train Station -- Amtrak** '''Bus:''' East Lansing Train Station -- Greyhound** '''Air''': Lansing Capital City Airport (LAN) is the closest airport with connections through Detroit, Chicago, Cincinatti, Minneapolis, and Atlanta.
