Another view of the shelves as they were in 2002 - a safety hazard, which is why the collection moved to its present locale in Stauffer Library.
Empty shelves in anticipation of the incoming collection. Note: the brown border on the ceiling is the base of a tall, pyramid-shaped alcove over the desks that cannot be seen from this angle.

For our anniversary, my husband surprised me with a trip to Barter Books, a used bookstore in a converted train station in Alnwick, England.
This was my haul, including 1 book which will eventually be gifted. (with the front cover of "Over the Reefs")
see here for the summary.
The final book is "Branan the Pict" - one of those historical fiction books for kids, in this case related a pict and encounters with Saint Columba (I think).

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Since the Education Library provides resources for K-12 teachers, many texts that you would not normally see in an academic library can be found here. This is one of the the craft books found in the stacks in the southwest corner of the ground floor behind the staircase.
