The Reference Room, on the first floor front, is open to the public, as well as members, for reference, reading, and online catalog access.

 

Historical Note:

"Today, when you enter the Catalogue and Reference Room, you are entering the former reception room of the Rogers' house. The small closet just off the Reference Room was once a wash room. Guests would freshen up here before ascending the grand staircase, or entering the dining room across the hall, now the staff work room behind the carved-oak loan desk." From Library Notes 1994
