You may want to call and check hours, but I think anyone can go there.
You don't go through normal library turnstiles and will need to be very
polite and careful to the rare books staff, but I have found them to be
helpful and the reading room there is as close to heaven as it gets. They
do allow lap tops and I suppose a really fast typist might transcribe the
stories, but I beg anyone accessing the stories or this list to respect
Salinger's wishes. The stories are part of archives and not for
publication, even if I think their quality merits publication. Please
enjoy
the stories without hurting their author. will
