Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

Over the summer, Underhill Music Library underwent some renovations, including new furniture and carpets, and alterations to the circulation desk.
