Reading Room Redo: Compact Shelving Edition

Share this post:

First, the books left.  Next, the shelves left.  Then, everything else left.  We also found a few items along the way.  Now, things are coming!

Compact shelving has made its way into our Reading Room for the first time.  I was excited to see this when I received the new photos from the Architect of the Capitol (AOC).  In the photos below you can start to get a sense of the new space.  I am ready to see what’s next.

Just a reminder, you can still visit our Reading Room.  It is set up in a temporary space in room G-15 also here in the Madison Building of the Library of Congress.
