Healy Renovation Begins

Work began in May on renovating the spaces in the Healy Building occupied by the University Collection, now part of the Special Collections Division. Initial efforts involved clearing and repainting the reception area in Healy Basement and moving there from Carroll Parlo a number of the display cases that stood in the center of that room as well as a number of smaller pieces of furniture.

Estimates are being gathered for costs involved in upgrading the lighting, heating and cooling, and security in Carroll Parlor, and we hope that a Library Associate or other friend of the Library might be willing to make a donation to cover the costs of these further, and much needed, efforts.
