Lower Level Refurbishment

by Associate Library Dean, Barb Rotz


Empty shelving signals exciting changes coming to the lower level of Lehman Library. Throughout the 2010-2011 academic year library faculty and staff have evaluated collections, removed duplicate content, and shifted remaining bound periodicals and microfilm in anticipation of a major refurbishing of the northeast side of the lower level. Throughout the summer months work will proceed to paint walls, install new carpet and provide new furnishings that will offer students a variety of group and individual study options. Eighteen computers will be added in this area as well, allowing additional access to library resources and student documents on shared drives. Thanks to support from the Student Senate, a casual area will include a new popular reading collection which will feature current fiction and best sellers.

Work on the lower level will be completed during the summer and the area will be ready for students and faculty when they return to campus for the 2011-2012 academic year.
