CLOSING THIS CHAPTER OF CARRIER LIBRARY
L
eading up to the closing of Carrier Library, feelings for this building and the memories made in this place poured out on our physical and virtual memory walls. The sharing culminated on May 11, 2023, with a gathering of hundreds of students, Libraries employees, faculty and staff emeriti, and donors to celebrate Carrier and learn about the renovation. Using a self-guided tour, attendees wandered throughout the building and reminisced about time spent in these spaces, and some left their mark one last time. While the building will reopen in three years even better than before, we made sure to honor the past even as we look toward an exciting future for this building.
