Every couple of months, I see something in the comments section of a blog or a news article that asks why Morris Library can’t just have volunteers bring the books, all the books back from the McLafferty Annex. Aside from all of the issues with liability, loss, misshelving, and the
scale of such a
move, there’s an obvious reason that it isn’t happening. The basement of Morris Library, where the books are to go, does not have shelves. Despite all of the people who have been to the basement for events or tornado warnings, this information still is not widely known.
In case you don’t believe me, here are some photographs of the unfinished parts of the library.

| The sixth floor needs more work than the basement. |

| The seventh floor looks a lot like the sixth. | | | | | | | | | |
