Our Move - A Sneak Peak at P. S. Antonio Nuovo, 6

Here are the photos from our move! A sneak peak!
All of our stuff is out of Via Roma and in P. S. Antonio Nuovo, 6.  Now the hard part is putting everything back together again.
44 years of accumulation in 400 sq. m.!  Think of the possibilities.  It took the movers 3 whole days.  Luckily we already packed our books and disassembled our book shelves. 

Classrooms are ready!  Classes will be held as scheduled.  Intensive Classes this week - April 8-12, and Regular Classes starting on April 15th.

Our priorities are:
  • Figure out where we want to mount the book shelves,
  • Mount the book shelves Children's Corner and stock the shelves, (children are our most avid readers!)
  • Mount the book shelves in the Reading Room and Aula Magna,
  • Mount the DVD shelves and stock them,
  • Stock the book shelves in the Reading Room and Aula Magna.
Want to help?  Call us to find out what we're working on. It's a work in progress.  If you have a drill, please bring it!

Move to Piazza S. Antonio Nuovo, 6

Yes, we have moved - It took 3 entire days of moving vans.  We are kind of camped out, but classrooms are ready!  Full Speed Ahead! 

Note that our address is :  Piazza S. Antonio Nuovo, 6 in a building owned by the SERBIAN Orthodox Community and not the Greek Orthodox Church as was stated in the article. 

Come and visit... come and help us remount our library and stock the shelves!
