No, No, you turn right before the turnstiles and head for the rare books
room...but you will be stoped, fill out the forms, and then need to go to
their index and order the boxes you want.The reading room is octagonal I
think,
with huge windows, wooden tables with reading lights, and even outlets for
laptops. The readers sit facing the one or two librarians in the room and
it's all so thick with juicy ideas and ivy tinted creaminess that you have
to do something wild the moment you get out. When I go, I usually sit for
3-4 hours in one or two sittings and never leave hungry...good reading,
will
