Fond Farewell to the Library Fridge

The library faculty and staff bid a fond farewell to the beloved refrigerator. The fridge made its debut back in the summer of 1978. The staff were thrilled to get it then and are sad to see it go now. As you can tell from the photo, it was not a new refrigerator at the time. Date of manufacture is unknown. Sometime in the 50's is the best guess.

The fond memories of defrosting layer upon layer of ice will remain. Goodbye, dear fridge. It is time to let you go.

  2. Is this the Library's first foray into "greening the campus"?

  3. Sung to the tune of Oh Christmans Tree (Oh Tannenbaum):

    O dear fridge, O dear fridge
    We're truly going to miss you!
    O dear fridge, O dear fridge
    You're like one of the family!

    You came to us so clean and bright,
    Your shiny paint a true delight.

    O dear fridge, O lovely fridge,
    We're truely going to miss you.
    O dear fridge, O lovely fridge
    You're older than a bunch of us!

    Never mind the electric bill,
    In '78 you were a thrill!
    And now we say a sad goodbye
    As you leave us forever.

    Oh dear fridge, O lovely fridge,
    We truely going to miss you!
