Crocker Library

This week I started volunteering at the Crocker library, they hope to get everything ready for opening the first week of November. The shelving only came in last week - only 2 days before the museum opening. The library is downstairs in a lovely little room. Right now the stacks are pretty empty.

That is a window alcove back there, filled with boxes of books.

The mountains of boxes that have been emptied already (there are slightly smaller stacks behind the two flat piles you can see the tops of), I was able to get Jessie to help me cart all the boxes out to the recycling bins the floor so was clear for a little while.

This entire wall of shelves are all books donated from one person's collection - and this is not even all of the books that were donated this is maybe half. It makes me drool, to think of her having that many art books of her own.

Here are just a couple that caught my eye on Friday when I was organizing them:

From inside:

It is wonderful to be helping in the library and getting to walk through the Crocker on my way in is wonderful! It really is a beautiful museum.
