The “Old Archives” is getting a much needed face-lift! This space will soon house our new bathrooms for the “Basement” floor, which has been something that we’ve wanted for a long time. Here’s to progress!

UM incorporated volleyball as an official sport in 1972. However, the game had been a favorite for years as evidenced by this 1940s picture.

The old shelving in this truck is now a part of Carmichael Library history. Those that haven’t visited our ground floor since this spring will hardly recognize it! The old shelving, along with the bound periodicals that were not weeded* out this spring, has found a new home on the east side of our second floor.

* Yes, we actually do use this term in libraries, just like weeding your garden!
