The Lydia M. Olson Library is offering a free service to help you preserve your COVID-19 vaccination record. NMU students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to take advantage of this free service.

After receiving the booster shot or final vaccination bring your card to Olson Library to make a laminated copy. You are welcome to bring family members' cards for lamination. We will copy the vaccination card and laminate the copy free of charge. Since it is unknown how the vaccination cards will be used in the future, and considering the introduction of booster shots, we are not offering to laminate the original card.

For community members and those without a university registered parking pass, we suggest to visit the Library on weekends or during Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 22-24), as there will be more parking available. For more parking information, visit NMU Parking Services.
