This week at the Edwin H. Mookini Library

Well, this week we hit some milestones and things are looking a little clearer. On Sunday, 10/29/06, Rotaract, Rotary Club and a mixture of campus staff and faculty volunteers finished the work of our hard-working renovation student workers: Gov Docs is cleared!

In addition, more shelves have been erected on the 1st floor behind H section and in front of J section. And a new list for further boxing of periodicals has been generated. The renovation students have even gotten a start on it. Also, the A/C is up and running and the padlocks have been installed on the containers in the loading dock area. This means that all the boxes and the periodicals can begin being moved off the 3rd floor! The boxes will go into the containers, and the periodicals will soon start moving to the 1st floor. Other areas that are ready to move, or be moved into include: the Archive room, which Karen Nishida has gone through and prepared; the 1st floor storage room has been cleared and cleaned and now has several racks of shelving, which was assembled by the renovation student staff; and the new break room on the 2nd floor, which is ready to be filled with necessary items from the 3rd floor break room.

This coming week promises to be just as big in terms of accomplishments. In fact, we’re starting to think we might actually pull this off by the deadline :-).
