December 28, 1974: moving the library
Under John Murchie’s supervision, Tony Duggan-Smith, Ann Prim and I spent the past two days packing and moving all the books from the old library on Coburg Road down to the new library on Duke Street. It is a great new location- beautiful big windows at the corner of Duke and Hollis Streets.
Art magazines and Reference books and the xerox room are on the main floor. The book stacks are on the second floor. Mary Snider’s slide library is on the third.
It is cold this winter, with snow around the city. We have had great fun making sleds out of the used boxes.
That library is the hub of NSCAD. Everybody meets here. The student mailboxes are just outside the door and the switchboard is at the checkout counter. The second floor is still pretty empty, with plywood still on the floors.
Spring Hurlbut has made a circular plaster installation two feet in diameter with a crown molding profile on the second floor.
