The move across Route 13 might seem like an easy task, but think of moving 12,000+ books. It takes a lot of coordination and teamwork. Norm had a plan. Pure muscle was not enough. Barbara Church was in charge of getting the shelving cleaned and refurbished. Roger Davenport’s job was to make sure that all of the new shelving was assembled and ready to be occupied. It was important to have the books put into the new building in a systematic way. Beth Beardsley was in charge of that aspect of the plan. Close to 100 volunteers came out on June 29 to assist in the move. At noon everyone took time out to enjoy a delicious old-fashioned picnic lunch organized by Janice Hayes. The day was a smashing success and it didn’t rain. Marilyn Fais said, “I think Janice Hayes had something to do with that, as she was having a little chat with God while she was helping to set up for the picnic.” By mid-afternoon many of the bookshelves were already filled. The books were standing tall and proud, just like the New Woodstock volunteers in their new library. On July 8, 1996 the new home of the New Woodstock Free Library opened for business.
