Day 3 of the move out of Flavelle House is progressing well. We have a slight respite from the broiling heat and humidity of the last couple of days—only slight, but better than the 40+ humidex on July 17th. There are fewer books and boxes left in the library, the artwork has been removed and Prof. Douglas Sanderson organized a smudge ceremony today for the wampum removal and storage (more on the artwork storage and smudge ceremony in future posts.)

I stopped by to check in with John Papadopoulos, law’s chief librarian and an alumnus of this school, and he says while he’s looking forward to the long overdue library renovations, the move out is bittersweet.
