Classroom Upgrades Coming Soon!

The library classroom is receiving a fancy upgrade.  Most of the changes will be in place by early September so keep an eye out for more posts on the progress.

First, the obligatory BEFORE pictures.  In case you haven't visited recently, here's what it looked like until last week:

The view from the back of the room
The view from the front of the room. 

The first order of business is to remove the power poles, paint and re-carpet the room.

Power poles. Yuck!
This week the laptops were removed...

No more laptops
And the furniture was re-located.

So much space!
Now, the power poles get removed...
And then new carpet and paint!
This is a work in progress - but there's no turning back now!


I don't think we'll miss all those cords!
We'll be posting updates along the way - so keep checking back!

Book shifting is still occurring on the 4th floor - Art books from 740-799. This will eliminate the overflow carts in the 770's, 780's, and 790's. Pardon our dust while this work is completed.

Remodeled 3rd Floor & Expansion of Art Book Collection

Coming next month a large section of the Art Book Collection - call numbers from 700-739 - will be moved to the 3rd Floor of the library. This move will free up space on the 4th Floor and will eliminate the overflow areas in the 770's, 780's and 790's. Please bear with us while this major shifting of materials takes place. We think the end result will be well worth the disruption!
