Upstairs Downstairs

New study space
Over the past two weeks the empty shelving in the SW corner of the Reference area has been removed and additional electrical outlets have been added to the columns. We have begun moving study tables into this area and already have students using the new space. Eventually we will fill the space with tables.

New lobby TV monitor
We finally have the new monitor mounted on the wall in the lobby, outside of the videoconferencing room. The picture seems brighter than the old monitor. Tessie has been busy creating colorful new announcement screens to display on the monitor.

New storage for historical items
Two new storage units have been created in the Collection Services area. One unit allows us to hang pictures or awards and will protect them from dust and light. The second unit creates a cluster of padded “cubbies” suitable for storage of many different types of materials. This unit will soon have curtains added to further protect the contents.
