Selections from Memories of Cross Campus Library and Machine
City

Anyone passing through the tunnel between Sterling Memorial
and Cross Campus Libraries between May 19 and 25, 2006 was invited to record memories of the Cross Campus Library and Machine City.

A selection of comments follows:

TA conferences in Machine City
The end of an end!
DB

You're thicker than eggnog
You're sweeter than ice cream
You're sticky like a sticky bun
You're spicy like a chicken wing

Goodbye to the Dungeon, forever!!!

I'll miss you, CCL
Even though you
Drove me away!

Can't wait to see you all shiny and
New!

I just wished sometimes CCL was open 24 hours a day!

Hey CCL,
I remember when you were


a young spry virgin of a library.
Now you're an old hag…but hey.
Cya! Will miss ya!

Goodbye old!
Hello new!

CCL was such a wonderful experience
People, noise, (laughter) and wet rugs. Ahh!
Oh how they will be missed!
Pamela

MOLD BE GONE
HOORAY FRESH AIR!

Bon Voyage CCL!!
(GOOD RIDDANCE)

So many wasted hours (frown)

Goodbye CCL!
Will miss old CCL! Bring in the new CCL!

Will miss the old
But awaiting the new!!
YOU OWE ME $10 IN QUARTERS!

Many years of work happened here.

CCL Rules!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
CCL is the best
Of Yale's Old Blue

Farewell,
Here's to a beautiful rebirth!

Hope the "new" opens on time

I got so much done in CCL. What am I going
to do when its new and pretty and distracting?

It's soooooooooo……..hard to say goodbye
To CCL………..but'll be absolutely spectacular
And exciting to say hello to the new and improved ?
Candi B. - CS - 2006 - smile

No more dust balls the size of cats…..

It's a sad occasion, but it will be worth it
In the end! Goodbye old friend! 2006
Thank you

Oh 60's poster art….where hath thou gone?

Out with the old in with the new!!!
Thank God - May 2006
Diane Robinson

I remember throwing plastic sheets over the books
In CCL back in the 70's - no more RAIN!!!!
Good-Bye CCL!

Naked Pundits!

There's water on the floor -
It must be raining outside!

What stories the weenie bins could tell!

Dear CCL:
We shared you with the students but really - you were ours! We will miss you! Here's to the new CCL.

NO MORE surveys!

No more pizza or subs or spilled coffee!

Tall lean fine as a steel beam,
I'm shy but one glance from your blue eyes makes me "sigh" ?
Oh I wish you knew how much I'd like 2 wrap my arms
around you………….

I know for a fact, there were 11,700 linear feel of shelving in CCL!

Woop De Doo
CCL's gonna be new
Is this Haiku?

I was hired to prepare you for demolition. No offense!

CCL was the best!

I will miss sleeping the carrels
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z

Days of book hunting,
Stacks prowling
