Reynolds 2 Stacks Shifting

Public Services is in the process of shifting the “Qs” on the east end of Reynolds 2 to consolidate stacks space and improve the discoverability of the collection. Currently, only 3 bays remain to be moved. Many thanks to the staff and student assistants for all their hard work!
