Forsyth Library, FHSU\u2019s on-campus library for academic and leisurely reading alike, has been under construction since the 2024 fall semester. Construction is still on schedule for completion in the 2026 spring semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven major construction dates such as removing the stairs went well,\u201d  Instruction and Outreach Librarian Cyndi Landis said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forsyth librarians have not flown the coop during construction, as certain librarians still operate from their offices in the Forsyth building, while others have moved to Custer Hall. Archival librarians in particular have stayed in Forsyth during construction to ensure that more delicate materials remain unharmed throughout the renovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another unique aspect of the renovation is the live updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve kept people far more up-to-date than most other construction jobs I\u2019ve been involved with,\u201d Landis said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
