LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE

In the basement are large rooms, which can also be used for book-stores when necessary. The total shelf accommodation of the whole building is about 150,000 volumes. An outside stair leads to the

basement for the unpacking of boxes, &c., and a circular staircase and lift are provided, running up through the lending library to the book-store on the first floor.
