I'm glad to hear they've built a new facility since, because the one I saw was packed to the gills with library material. They'd built makeshift shelves covering most of the windows (which did wonders for the lighting, of course) and had shelving carts permanently out on the floor just sagging with material there wasn't room for. I also remember that a good portion of the collection had bookplates inside noting exactly who had donated each item. Seemed like a nice touch at first, but boy I bet it made weeding a PR nightmare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
