The traditional, iconic two-story reading room has been beautifully restored as has been seen in earlier posts. Today, the restored reading room tables from original Stetson arrived after work by the D.R. Dimes firm. It has been worth the wait.
The unloading of these heavy tables
The tables begin to fill the reading room. Eight will eventually be placed here, including six original tables and two newly built replicas. The square openings are for modern wiring and lamps.
Smaller, taller tables were used for recording call numbers from the old card catalog. Four of these narrower tables will be placed in the entrance lobby and south hallway for newer uses.
