Support from the Collins Family continues today with the most recent gift of furniture from Lee Diane Collins Vest ’70, granddaughter of Everell S. Collins, a long-time supporter of the Library. Through her generosity, we are lucky to have beautiful furniture in our new library spaces. Furniture from the Collins forests are made by the Joinery, an environmentally friendly Collins Company based in Portland, OR., known for hand crafting beautiful, heirloom-quality furniture.
Many of the tables and chairs throughout this building were custom built for the library from Collin’s Lumber. The removal of dense periodical shelving will create a warm and inviting reading area in front reading room just in time for Spring semester 2012!
