New journals area
You might have noticed the new journals display area near the reading room on the first floor. We’ve selected several dozen of the top journal titles in music, dance, and theatre, and will display current issues face-out (recent issues are in the shelves beneath). Older issues and journal titles not in this display (we have hundreds) can be found in the journals area in the northwest corner of the first floor.
Music Library scanner not working
The scanner in the Music Library is currently out of order. We’ll let you know when it’s working again.
