Donate a box to help move the library!

As Adelaide Central School of Art will be relocating in 2013, so too will the library need to be moved.

And so, our Librarian, Catherine Kerrigan, is looking for donation of empty cardboard boxes. A4 paper boxes with lids, or others of a similar size that can be used for library books, are preferred.

Please leave any boxes either with Catherine herself, who can usually be found in the Staff Room, Library, or Art History Room on Mondays and Fridays, or at the Reception desk.

Many thanks!
