Renovation Update: Carrels Depart...and Letters Arrive!

We have been waiting for months for these two things to take place, and, of course, they occur virtually simultaneously... such is the sense of humor of the universe!  (Luckily the carrels did not knock over Lonnie's ladder! Look to the end to get that one.)

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

What a transformational day in the Harold Schiffman Music Library!!!

More to come soon (yes, there is furniture arriving next week - knock wood)!
