Finally, contractors will be installing the first tranche of shelving between November 29 and December 13. It will be great to see some nice new shelves before we head off for the break!

We will not have access to the archives housed in Warehouse B for those two weeks. There is a banner on Kā Kohika letting users know that some archives will not be available during that period and to email all requests through to Macmillan Brown.

Activity around the usually quiet warehouse will be increased and our colleagues in Te Ao Mārama have been notified. Please be aware of this; pallets of shelves are being stored in Warehouse A near the main entrance and other tables used in our space will temporarily be moved around.

Product Design School and School of Fine Arts have done an amazing job at taking the shelving from C Block where the first shelves will be installed. Product Design has even taken the work bench so it is wonderful to see so much being repurposed. Plenty more shelves will be available for the taking, I’ll be putting the call out to Library Staff first for the next block early next year. If you know of any other departments, colleagues, neighbours who would be interested in some shelves, please do let me know!
