O N T H E C OV E R : Students carry some of the 40,000 books that were moved March 9, 1954, from Harvey Hall library to the new library. The event was called M-Day, or moving day. Students spent all day on the job and that night celebrated with live music and snacks. The “new” library, UW-Stout’s first stand-alone library, now is the north half of the Vocational Rehabilitation Building.
