     Attention all colleagues:

     The General Research Division and its Main Reading Room will shortly
     udergo a major renovation at the New York Public Library's 42nd Street
     Research Building. The entire building will close to the public on
     Monday, July 14th, 1997. On Tuesday, the 15th, readers will find that
     the third floor Public Catalog Room, Room 315,and the Main Reading
     Room will have relocated the the first floor. The Public Catalog Room
     will be temporarily rehoused in the old Science Division Rooms, Rm.
     121 and the Main Reading Room will be housed in smaller quarters in
     the Gottesman Exhibition Hall off the Astor Hall.

     This relocation will be in effect for the next 20 months. While every
     attempt to carry on normally will be made, there will be obvious
     repercussions: for example, seating is less in Gottesman and readers
     who have requested and are waiting for books, will receive tickets and
     they will be the only ones allowed access to the temporary reading
     room.

     Since 60% of the Art Division's holdings are located through the Main
     Reading Room, there will be a definite impact for art researchers. The
     Art & Architecture Reading Room in Room 313 will remain open for its
     usual hours; there will be an impact on our delivery service however,
     since we must page materials from the stacks through alternate and
     lengthier means -- in other words, it will also take longer to get
     materials that are located through our reading room... We may also
     have to restrict photocopying more than previously, since the Copy
     Services will be on the first floor as well. I will alert you all to
     any further service restrictions down the road, we may have a short
     period of inaccessibility during the renovation, although this will
     not come for some time.

     Please notify your constitutents of these developments. We will try to
     do everything possible to accommodate during this renovation, but
     readers will undoubtedly feel some constrictions.
