This view of part of the Reading Room shows the modern design of the
furniture, the generous four-foot width of the tables, and, in the back¬
ground, a few of the many individual study carrels. The tables are oiled
walnut and the chairs are upholstered in turquoise Naugahyde. With 125
seats for readers on this floor, the seating capacity is ample for all normal
needs.

Not shown in this photograph are open bookstacks with a capacity of
20,000 volumes.
