Lending Collection to move next week

The Lending Collection of the Rockhampton Library will be unavailable from 25 – 29 October, 2010 while it is moved from Building 10 to Building 39.

The Library will remain open for study in Building 10 until Friday, 29 October, 2010, however patrons are advised to take care on Level 1 as the removalists will be moving heavy containers.

This move is earlier than expected, but will mean that both our temporary service points will be open from 1 November, 2010.

The Resource & Access Services staff have already moved to Building 41 and Information Services are expected to move next week. The Secretariat have moved to Building 37.

Farewell to the orange carpet

Closing Parties
Past and present library staff, as well as invited guests from the university and wider community, enjoyed celebrations on 30 October to mark the 'closing' of the Bruce Hiskens Building for refurbishment.

Director Graham Black and Vice-Chancellor Prof Scot Bowman tied an orange ribbon, 32 years to the day that Princess Alexandra cut the ribbon to officially open the building in 1978.

See the CQUniNews article for further details and photos: University Major library refurb - out with the orange and into the wild blue yonder.


Website update
On the website, we now have an artist's impression of the Ground Floor Library Hall, created by Caustic Pictures for Wilson Architects. It gives us a good indication of how open and light the space will look, with increased glass windows and a raised ceiling height.
