UNC libraries to forgo Christmas trees

Chapel Hill library chief says staffers complained about the display.

CHAPEL HILL (Charlotte Observer) - For as long as anyone can remember, Christmas trees adorned with lights and ornaments have greeted holiday season visitors to UNC Chapel Hill's two main libraries.

Not this year.

The trees, which have stood in the lobby areas of Wilson and Davis libraries each December, were kept in storage this year at the behest of Sarah Michalak, the associate provost for university libraries.
