Milestone: Moving Sawyer Books into New Building

After two years of planning, the move of the Sawyer collections into the new library began on Monday, June 16. Or rather, the move of shelves from Sawyer were moved to prepare for the move of books. The National Library Relocations crew had delivered book trucks and supplies the previous week.
