Months of planning by a team of staff helped the move to go smoothly. Many thanks to all the MPS staff who assisted in all aspects of this move! We also appreciate the loan of moving equipment and assistance from the Customer and Facilities Services Department. We invite library staff to visit and tour our new space arrangement.
