Anonymous Patron writes “The Mobile Register (That’s Alabama) is covering Spring Hill College’s attempt to move 170,000 books to their spacious new home on the other side of campus.
The 1,500-student Catholic college plans to open its new Burke Memorial Library on July 16. The college has spent $16.2 million to build the new structure, not counting money for landscaping and an operating endowment. One of the last steps in the process is moving in.
Here’s the nightmare of moving a library: Every book that ends up in the wrong place at the new destination might be lost forever.
“Keeping them in the right order is just paramount,” said Bruce Whitham, Spring Hill College’s library director.”
