VERNAL — An estimated 300 volunteers turned
out Saturday to help move 50,000 books from the old Uintah
County Library into the new one.

And they did it all by hand, forming a human chain that
took book after book after book from the shelves in one
building and put them on the shelves in the other.

"In the next week we'll move another almost 100,000
books," said library director Sam Passey, who called the
turnout for Saturday's event "very exciting."
