Storeroom for Little Used Books, see Stack, Depository.
Study Rooms. These are for classes or individuals studying particular subjects, and who need quiet and seclusion. Sometimes it will be used by literary societies like a Browning Club, Shakespeare Club, etc.
They should be adjacent to and form a part of the Reference Room. Although only three or four are mentioned more can be used, and they might be larger or smaller than dimensions given.
Superintendents of Departments. They are Superintendent of Cataloguing Department, Superintendent of Children’s Work Superintendent of Book Orders, Superintendent of Supplies.
The Architect suggests that these might be grouped as in a business house, with central waiting space and with access to each other. Perhaps a better plan would be to have the office of each Superintendent near his own department.
The office of the Superintendent of Branches would be connected with the Executive suite.
Supply Room, see Stock Room (supplies).
Supply Department. The Superintendent of this Department makes the purchases for all the branches and must therefore meet buyers as well as Branch Librarians. There should be an outer and inner office. A store room should be provided on this floor for the storage of stationery, etc. This department should have outside entrance so that teams could deliver goods direct.
Technical and Scientific Periodical Room. Will contain current scientific periodicals and should have bound volumes (20,000) of same on shelves in room or in stack nearby.
It might be near Reference Department or the Periodical Reading Room.
