On May 9, the Libraries hosted a \u201cGoodbye to Paley\u201d open house. Paley has been the library\u2019s home on Main Campus since 1966, and has meant so much to the Temple students, faculty, staff, community members, and visitors who have walked through its doors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Around 250 people joined us to celebrate, to reminisce, and to say goodbye to Paley. Our open house featured an <\/span>SCRC<\/span><\/a> photo exhibit, zinemaking station, video booth for sharing Paley memories, library furniture sale, live music, and more. Dean Joe Lucia also offered remarks on the history of Paley and the shifts we\u2019ve seen in academic libraries since the 1960s, when Paley first opened. It was a fitting send off as we prepare to open a new 21st century library across the street.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, we officially closed Paley Library in order to begin the <\/span>move<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Charles Library<\/span><\/a>. The move process will continue throughout the summer, as we work toward opening the new library for the fall semester in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Paley will no longer function as a library, the building will live on as <\/span>\u201cSamuel Paley Hall.\u201d It will be the new home for the College of Public Health and will continue to house the Center for Academic Advising and Professional Development for the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science and Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While we will miss Paley dearly, we are excited about completing the move to Charles and opening the new state-of-the-art facility to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n
