During intersession we will continue our self-improvement regimen.  Jog an extra mile, perhaps?  Cut out cakes and cookies from our holiday nourishment?  No, no, no — we would never deprive ourselves like that! The improvements are all in the building…replacing the old wall fabrics with new ones in the Reading Room and some in the Mezzanine.  There is some noise, some smell, some inconvenience.  But the results will be worth it.  With luck, all will be back in order when classes resume January 7.

No pain, no gain, right?  Wish us luck.
