Leaving the Building

Today is the last day library staff will be located the Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Library!  As of Monday, May 12, staff will be in the Classroom Building, rooms C205 and 206.  There you can find some quiet study space, computers, textbooks on reserve for summer classes, and a small circulating collection of popular fiction.

Along with staff relocation, several portraits from the Library have had to find new homes.

First, our benefactor Mr. Houghton, who hung behind our circulation desk, and Walter Smith, a long-time professor in the Humanities Department (to the left in the picture below).

Arthur is now located in President Douglas' office area.

Walter has found a home on the 3rd floor of the Nursing Building, in the Social Sciences Division.

A portrait of Frederick Parsons, one of CCC's first trustees, used to hang in the library stairwell (unfortunately, we did not get a picture).  He has been moved to the Administration Building - quite appropriately, since it is actually named the PARSONS Administration Building!

Finally, the presidential portraits were moved to the Elmira Center.  The 5 presidents are housed temporarily around the 3rd floor archways.
