§4. Of the advantages of the New Library.

The New Library differs from the Old Library in several ways: (1) You can go upstairs in it, flights of stairs being provided for this purpose at each end; in the absence of staircarpets students are requested tiytake off their boots when using the stairs, so as to avoid unnecessary noise. (2) A railing is provided all round the landing; students are requested also when examining volumes not to lose their balance and fall over, as it may disturb the Librarian.
