10 November 193"-
Ironwork and flooring are now
almost finished, and the facade is
beginning to take shape on the ground
floor. The tiers of the book stack are
now visible behind the Main Reading
Room—two for every floor in
the surrounding service facilities.

5 January 1933

The facade of the service facilities
is now largely complete to the 500 level,
with wooden protective casing being
erected to cover the decorative stonework
and the pilasters across the front of
the Main Reading Room. The book stack
is still a steel shell.

6  February 1933

Only the facade of the book stack
and a bit of the 500 level remain to be
added, as snow covers the playing
fields (the great arrow on South Field
is a long-jump track).
