Yesterday, the movers were back and they continued to work on moving books and journals from Geosciences to Biology and the storage facility.
At the Biological Sciences Library, we rearranged the books several times to make room for all the incoming materials and to merge several different call number ranges where all 3 libraries had books.
At Geosciences, they lost electricity for a couple of hours but that didn’t slow anyone down.
