CLOSED
STACKS
History:
When the Library was renovated in the early 1980s, rolling stacks were installed for compact storage, thus adding a great deal of shelving. It was felt that this new area should house the least consulted part of the collection: old newspapers, foreign language books, and disintegrating or scarce older volumes. To protect these mostly frail materials, as well as our members, rummaging (in a movable stack area) is not permitted. But rummaging opportunity aplenty remains in most of the building's stacks.
