The Herding of the Chairs: Behind the Scenes at the UVA Law Library

The University of Virginia Law Library has approximately 700 chairs. During the year, they often wander—sometimes long distances from where they should be. Twice a year, before the school year begins and before graduation, we like to wrangle the chairs back in place so that the library looks pretty and welcoming. This gargantuan task falls on the shoulders of one person: Library Coordinator Tim Breeden. We’ve documented the story of Tim and the chairs in our 10 minute video feature on “The Herding of the Chairs,” the first in our series of Behind the Scenes at the UVA Law Library. Join us in learning the back story of how Tim helps keep our library a pleasant environment every year, and why the “Old Blues” are so hard to wrangle:
