Library Main Floor • Day 2

Update • Library Shelving & Art
It is amazing to see the main floor with reference stacks dismantled and removed. Tables and seating will be relocated to floors 3 through 6; several pieces of artwork have been relocated to the ground floor as well. The reference desk and public access computers stationed around the pole will be dismantled and removed from the main floor in coming days.  

Never fear, reference librarians remain available. Stop at the main desk and ask for a librarian if you need help.  You can also email us at library@ashland.edu or use our online form to request a reference appointment. And remember, librarians are available via chat 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week. Visit the library website for additional information.

Library Main Floor

Getting Started • Library Collections
With the music CDs and reference relocated to their new homes, the next step in our renovation preparation is removal of the main floor stacks. A great team from Facilities was in today. They dismantled the stacks and removed them for off-campus storage. The west side of Archer Library's main floor is a vast open space. What's next?  We will be moving several computers, tables, and seating to upper floors for student use.

Directory Updates 
We have completed several collection moves while preparing the main floor for planned renovations. To help with navigating the building and library, we have updated our elevator signage to reflect these changes.  Outside the elevator, you will find the sign featured below.  Signs inside the elevator were previously updated.  As always, feel free to ask at the main desk for help locating library resources.
