If found best to locate this room elsewhere it may be placed near newspaper room and made accessible from street.
A room adjoining would have shelves and cases for the unbound back numbers as in Newark.
Photographic Room. A place for taking pictures, consequently a “dark room,” should adjoin.
It might be in attic or one of the Art Book suite, but in any event should be connected with Art Book Room so that large books may be easily conveyed by lift or otherwise from one to the other. Provision should be made for the storage of photographs. It should be well lighted as the walls may be used for the exhibition of pictures, etc.
The “dark room” should have plenty of storage space for slides and negatives.
Plot, see Site.
Pneumatic Tubes. Most liberal provision should be made for communicating between Delivery Rooms, Departments and Stacks. (See also Book Carrier).
Printing Plant. It is a question of policy whether a large or small plant should be installed. If former, there will always be trouble with labor unions, etc. Provision should at least be made for a few small presses to do such necessary work as printing bulletins, lists, catalog cards, etc.
