There’s an old saying that states, “Many hands make light work.” That proved to be true on Saturday when a substantial number of volunteers formed a human chain stretching half a block on Scranton’s Main Street.
Workers, including Dawn Rudolph (pictured, left) passed stacks of books from the current public library, down the sidewalk and into the new H.F. and Maude Marchant Memorial Library, where they were immediately stocked on new shelving.
By the end of the day Saturday, all the books, materials and equipment had been transferred into the new building. Although there is still plenty of work to be done in organizing the materials, the library opened at 11 am Wednesday, Sept.10.
Former librarian Sarah Stephens wore a specially designed T-shirt for the library’s Moving Day.
A grand opening celebration is planned for Saturday, Sept. 27. Details will be forthcoming ~The Scranton Journal
