Today we're centered on construction and destruction.
In the creation end, the Jones Library is in the middle of its massive restoration project and is spotting an end point on the horizon. So we head out to Amherst to see how things are going as the building keeps its historic facade and gets updated to the 21st century.
Decked out in hard hats and safety gear, we get a glimpse at some of the changes and improvements that are headed to the building, and learn how you can be a part of this new construction with their top off ceremony this week, where you can put your proverbial "John Hancock" on an actual part of the new building. library director Sharon Sharry, Dev. director Lisa DeGrace, Facilities supervisor George Hicks-Richards, and Project supervisor Karl Beaumier take us around the site to see the edifice’s progress. .
And on the other end, our weekly chat with congressman Jim McGovern is extremely alarmed by the war instigating actions of our nation, especially as they attempt to bypass required congressional action, the issues with the latest farm bill, and his reflections on the Texas primaries.
