Library News
Sociology Collection – This collection, which is located on the 4th floor of Robert Fulton (east side elevator lobby), has recently been reorganized and labeled. For more information contact Caroline Persell (chp1@nyu.edu).
The Kendal Library is trying its best to rearrange itself so residents will be able to more easily find what they're looking for, especially for books authored by fellow residents. These books are referred to as Kendal Author (KA) books. Providing more Library book space is another goal.
Suzanne Adel and Topsy Preuss, Library Co-Chairs inform us that:
KA Books are now opposite the Library Desk Computer.
Sale Books are now to the right of the KAs.
DVDs are to the right of the Sale Books.
LP (Large Print) Books are to the left as one enters the Library.
Who did all the work? Suzanne and Topsy say it was the Library Elves.
