When com- pleted, these new stacks will be maile the temporary quarters for the read- ing room and offices of the library staff. It is planned to build the new stacks so strong that they may eventually be raised to more than double their pres- ent height, thus forming a tower stack on the lines proposed by the late Ber- nard R. Green, who built the library of Congress. An attempt will be made to complete the wings so that the reading room, library offices, and bindery may be moved to these temporary quarters during the Christmas vacation of 1916 or not later than the spring vacation of 1917. It will be necessary to use these quarters for probably two years, but they will be roomier and more com- fortable than the present ones. The east wing will be used by the library staff and for book shelves, while the west wing will be used as the gen- eral reading room. The temporary entrance will be on the south side of the west book stack. When completed, the new building will provide ample working space and facilities for a student body of 12,000. 1 W i L rI 3 I- A. R ..A"A RR! "A /L '~// 3 U Q /. l / /-/ /A2/ 7'
