Books Move to New Home

Human Development and Family Studies faculty have purged many books from their offices, in preparation for the Department's August move. They placed the books in the Department's foyer, where other faculty and students could take them. But lately the number of books kept growing -- and growing!

At the suggestion of Professor Karen Bogenschneider, Department Admin Jane Weier contacted the Social Work Library, which was happy to take the books. Jane Weier packed them up and with Professor Bogenschneider wheeled them across Linden Drive to the library. It will take any books it can use to fill its collections and ship the remainder to Memorial Library.

Memorial Library will take what it or other campus libraries can use and donate the rest to the Friends of the UW-Madison Library for its next public sale in October. Proceeds from the sale support a lecture series, special purchases for the library collections, and visiting scholar program.
