The latest information on the Suzzallo Project is now available on the University Libraries home page, under the heading "Library News and Information." The Suzzallo Project home page includes a full description of the proposed renovation as well as a frequently asked questions list. Another new source of information is an exhibit table in the Allen North lobby.
The University's next opportunity to request funding for the Suzzallo Project from the Legislature will be the 1999-2001 biennium.
In recent weeks, Betty Bengtson, director of University Libraries, has made informational presentations to the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) Senate, and to the Graduate and Professional Students Senate, seeking their advocacy for the Suzzallo Library renovation project. Future presentations are planned for faculty groups. In addition, two public meetings will be held on campus at a future date to share information about the need for the project and to seek support. See the Libraries home page for the exact dates, or contact Paula Walker, assistant director of libraries/special assistant to the director, at (206) 616-8513 or pwalker@u.washington.edu for more information.
