A tale of two Augusts
Posted by lpearle on 22 September 2010
A little over three years ago, in August 2007, I was awakened with the news that Goodhue Memorial Hall, home to the Kaskel Library where I worked, had been destroyed by fire (thanks to a lightning strike).
This past August I, and an incredible crew of workers (some paid, some volunteer) moved from our “permanent temporary” home in the Chapel back into Goodhue! We’re nearly 11,000 volumes strong, with many other resources to offer the Hackley community. The students love the space (particularly since we’re the only air conditioned building on the Hilltop).
We’ve put together a little video about the rebuilding: http://www.hackleyschool.org/GoodhueLibrary
Watch, enjoy and pay those insurance premiums!
